Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the Lloyds Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Ludlow?
The first thing to point out is that, 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.
Will my conveyancer be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Ludlow.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Ludlow. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Ludlow, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Ludlow. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the owner to discover if the property has historically flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s solicitors will also commission an environmental report. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be initiated.

As far as conveyancing in Ludlow is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the new owner is living at the property so an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
