It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Mansfield Woodhouse. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they could be archived with the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Mansfield Woodhouse involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Will our conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Mansfield Woodhouse.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Mansfield Woodhouse. Plenty of people will buy a house in Mansfield Woodhouse, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory 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.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Mansfield Woodhouse. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s lawyers should also carry out an environmental report. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be initiated.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Mansfield Woodhouse in advance of instructing lawyers.

Developers have suggested I use a conveyancing practitioner and I've obtained a quote from them. It's nearly £400 cheaper than my preferred Mansfield Woodhouse conveyancer. Should I use them?
Housebuilders frequently have lists of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the builder's contract and solicitor. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to choose a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer will not recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they require an exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may prove unwilling to 'push' your interests for fear of alienating the developer. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your local Mansfield Woodhouse conveyancer.
