After shopping around on the internet I have found a Finedon conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Finedon postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Virgin Money, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Finedon.
Should my lawyer be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Finedon.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Finedon. Some people will buy a house in Finedon, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will figure out the risks in Finedon. The standard property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate response. The purchaser’s solicitors will also conduct an environmental report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.
I purchased my flat on 2 October and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Finedon advises it should be concluded in less than a month. Are titles in Finedon particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Finedon registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies.

Historically registration occurs after the buyer is living at the premises therefore registration formalities is not usually primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
