We're in Kesgrave, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Lloyds , and our lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

When I asked my local Kesgrave solicitor - who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Co-operative will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Co-operative 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 lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Kesgrave. Plenty of people will buy a house in Kesgrave, completely 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 obtain a mortgage, satisfactory 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 impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Kesgrave. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine if the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect reply. A buyer’s conveyancers may also commission an environmental report. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.
