I sincerely hope you can help me. My Marazion conveyancer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toorder Marazion conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. Is my solicitor correct?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Marazion conveyancing searches.
Should our lawyer be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Marazion.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Marazion. There are those who purchase a property in Marazion, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Marazion. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could issue a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect reply. The purchaser’s lawyers will also carry out an enviro report. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be initiated.

We expect to complete our sale of a £425,000 garden flat in Marazion next Friday. The management company has quoted £372 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Marazion?
Marazion conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes more often than not requires the buyer’s solicitor sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer such questions the majority will be content to assist. They are at liberty to charge a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is in excess of £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is technically not due. In reality one has little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to complete the sale of your home.
