Should my solicitor be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Macclesfield.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Macclesfield. There are those who purchase a property in Macclesfield, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Macclesfield. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses stemming from an incorrect reply. The buyer’s lawyers should also carry out an enviro report. This should indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be conducted.

I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?

Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
