I am not well enough to travel far from Chesterton. Can you please spell out why all Chesterton lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Lenders highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. It led to mortgage companies culling less reputable firms off their panel of approved property lawyers .

Should my lawyer be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Chesterton.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Chesterton. There are those who buy a house in Chesterton, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their lawyers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Chesterton. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the owner to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may commence a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s solicitors will also conduct an enviro search. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.
