Is the fact that my conveyancer in Glenfield is not identified on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Glenfield conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
I am buying a house mortgage free in Glenfield. I have resided for the previous dozen years in Glenfield. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then all but one or two of the Glenfield conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. Do consider; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches contain. On occasion properties with day to day issues can still throw up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Glenfield will provide you some practical guidance here.

Will my lawyer be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Glenfield.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Glenfield. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Glenfield, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Glenfield. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the seller to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses resulting from an incorrect response. The purchaser’s conveyancers may also order an environmental search. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be conducted.
