What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the Aldermore Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Hanwell?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. 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.
Should my solicitor be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Hanwell.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Hanwell. Plenty of people will buy a house in Hanwell, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Hanwell. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the owner to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s solicitors should also commission an enviro search. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.
