Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Frome

I was informed today by my broker that my Frome the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain if this is indeed the case?

The best course of action for you to take is to call your Frome lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.

We note that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the TSB conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Frome?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the TSB conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Frome.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the UBS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Frome?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

If the residence has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. The buyer’s lawyers will also order an enviro report. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be made.

My partner and I hope to buy our 1st house in Frome. Conveyancing solicitor already instructed. The broker suggested that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only built 16 yrs ago.

At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the property is more than 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could suffice. The report should highlight any obvious problems and suggest additional investigation if appropriate. Where there are any indications of problems get a full Building Survey from the beginning.
