My financial adviser requires my Brompton law firm’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Brompton office but they don't know it.
You are best placed to get this information from your Brompton conveyancer . Most Brompton conveyancing firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.
My Conveyancer in Brompton is not listed on the Leeds Building Society Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Leeds Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Brompton lawyers but Leeds Building Society will need to instruct a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total conveyancing fees as well as result in delays.
- Get a new practitioner to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Leeds Building Society approved.
- Persuade your Leeds Building Society solicitor to try to join the Leeds Building Society panel
Should my solicitor be asking questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Brompton.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Brompton. There are those who purchase a house in Brompton, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their lawyers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Brompton. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s lawyers will also conduct an enviro report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be conducted.
