I am hoping to complete my purchase in Saxilby next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the bank. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. These obligations are not specific to conveyancing in Saxilby.
Should our lawyer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Saxilby.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Saxilby. Some people will purchase a property in Saxilby, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Saxilby. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the owner to determine if the property has ever been flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s solicitors may also commission an enviro report. This should indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.
The deeds to our home are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Saxilby 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
You no longer need to have the physical official documentation to prove you own the land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
