I am buying a property mortgage free in Mawsley. I have resided for the previous 20 years in Mawsley. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Your lawyer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are going to dispose of the house in the future, it may be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches disclose.

I have instructed a Mawsley solicitor having checked that they are on the Santander conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Santander will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Santander 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Mawsley surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Should our lawyer be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Mawsley.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Mawsley. There are those who purchase a house in Mawsley, fully expectant 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 get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Mawsley. The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the seller to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may issue a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect answer. The buyer’s solicitors will also order an enviro report. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Mawsley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Mawsley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Mawsley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mawsley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
