Some advice if I may. My Northop conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound toconduct Northop conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a mortgage with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Northop conveyancing searches.

I am thinking of remortgaging my home in Northop, does my lawyer need to be on the Nationwide Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, but Nationwide would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
Will my lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Northop.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Northop. Some people will buy a house in Northop, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Northop. The standard information supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the vendor to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could commence a claim for damages stemming from an misleading response. The buyer’s conveyancers will also commission an enviro report. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be carried out.
