Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Earley

We are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Earley with a mortgage. We like our Earley conveyancer, however the mortgage company advise she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the lender panel firms or retain our Earley lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Earley conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

In reviewing consumer advice sites for a recommended solicitor in Earley, most advise that I should look for a CQS accredited solicitor. What is CQS?

The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in the legal transfer of properties, trusted by some of the UK's major mortgage companies. Four years ago the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML). CQS is not a scheme offered by the Society for Licensed Conveyancers. Earley is one of the numerous areas in England and Wales where there are CQS solicitors.

Should our lawyer be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Earley.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Earley. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Earley, 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 dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which will figure out the risks in Earley. The standard information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the seller to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not notified by the seller, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s solicitors may also commission an enviro report. This will disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be made.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Earley with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My step-father has recommend that I instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Earley. Do I take his advice?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Earley conveyancing lawyer the best way to choose a conveyancing lawyer is to get recommendations from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the firm you're are thinking of instructing.
