I plan on purchasing an apartment in Brownhills. My lawyer is not on the bank approved panel. Am I still permitted to continue with my Brownhills conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel?
You must appoint a solicitor to complete the formalities when you take out a loan to buy your property. The conveyancer will carry out all the relevant due diligence on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. You could instruct a Brownhills conveyancer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the conveyancing practitioner selected is not on the mortgage company approved list further charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so where your lawyer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.
Our god-son is purchasing a house that has just been built in Brownhills with a home loan from TSB. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the TSB conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the TSB conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Will my solicitor be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Brownhills.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Brownhills. Some people will acquire a property in Brownhills, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which should figure out the risks in Brownhills. The standard information sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the vendor to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past and is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate reply. A purchaser’s conveyancers will also order an environmental report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be initiated.
Should I be concerned that brokers that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Brownhills conveyancing practice?
As with many professional services, often suggestions from relatives can be most helpful. Nevertheless there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all put forward solicitors to retain. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to choose your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that some lenders specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
