Recently asked questions about conveyancing in South Wimbledon

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the Nottingham Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in South Wimbledon?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

Will our lawyer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in South Wimbledon.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in South Wimbledon. Plenty of people will buy a house in South Wimbledon, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken 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 number of searches that may be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in South Wimbledon. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the owner to find out if the property has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s conveyancers will also carry out an enviro search. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be made.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in South Wimbledon?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in South Wimbledon. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. South Wimbledon is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in South Wimbledon are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in South Wimbledon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in South Wimbledon 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 premises.
