Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in South Wimbledon. The standard property information forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the owner to determine if the property has ever been flooded.

As is the case with many service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be most helpful.

On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to choose your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that some banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
