I am buying a property mortgage free in Hanslope. I have resided for the last 20 years in Hanslope. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Hanslope conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it could be of importance to your future buyer what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where properties with apparent issues can still throw up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Hanslope should provide you some constructive advice in this regard.
My lawyer in Hanslope is not on the Accord Mortgages Ltd Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Accord Mortgages Ltd panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Hanslope solicitors but Accord Mortgages Ltd will need to use a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional total conveyancing charges and cause frustration.
- Find an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the Accord Mortgages Ltd panel
Should our conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Hanslope.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Hanslope. There are those who acquire a property in Hanslope, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Hanslope. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the seller to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim resulting from an misleading response. A purchaser’s conveyancers will also commission an enviro search. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Hanslope is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Hanslope are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hanslope you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hanslope may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
