My IFA requires my Arthog lawyer’ panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. How do I discover this. I have tried my local Arthog branch but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Arthog property lawyer . Most Arthog law practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
We see that you have a search directory identifying firms on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Arthog?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Arthog.
Should our lawyer be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Arthog.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Arthog. There are those who acquire a property in Arthog, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Arthog. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the seller to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an enviro search. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.
