Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Ewloe is not listed on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
It would not be wise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Ewloe conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
We are about to complete on the purchase of a house in Ewloe but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the seller of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Yorkshire BS will not permit this. Why were they notified?
Any property lawyer being on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform Yorkshire BS of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the reduction to Yorkshire BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Yorkshire BS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Ewloe.
Will conveyancers ask for an advanced payment for conveyancing in Ewloe?
If you are buying a property in Ewloe your solicitor will ask you place them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Ordinarily this is asked for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is payable against the purchase price then this should be needed shortly before contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is due should be transferred a few days prior to the completion date.
Will my solicitor be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Ewloe.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Ewloe. There are those who buy a property in Ewloe, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Ewloe. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the owner to discover whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may commence a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect response. A buyer’s conveyancers may also conduct an enviro search. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Ewloe. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Ewloe - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
