Should my conveyancer be raising questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Presteigne.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Presteigne. There are those who purchase a property in Presteigne, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Presteigne. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the owner to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading response. A buyer’s solicitors may also commission an environmental report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be carried out.
I am purchasing a new build house in Presteigne with a loan from Barclays Direct. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Presteigne is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Presteigne 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 Presteigne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Presteigne may ascertain 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 residence.

I have noted on numerous consumer advice websites that when selecting a conveyancing lawyer they need approved by your lender. I am new to the process but I have an AIP with Nat West Bank and I already have a family conveyancing lawyer in Presteigne on standby. Will Halifax require an approved solicitor to be instructed? Does a list of panel firms even exist so I can choose a conveyancing lawyer in Presteigne?
You need to choose a solicitor that is on the Halifax panel. Simply call your preferred Presteigne conveyancing lawyer to check if they are on the Halifax panel. If they are not on the panel you have numerous options available to you here:
- Complete the deal with your chosen Presteigne conveyancer but Halifax will no doubt instruct a conveyancing practitioner from their approved panel. This will result in additional charges and potential interruption.
- Choose a new property lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, not forgetting to check that they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the Halifax conveyancing panel.
