We are planning to acquire a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Tickhill who is on the Principality approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

Should our solicitor be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Tickhill.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Tickhill. There are those who buy a house in Tickhill, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Tickhill. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect reply. A buyer’s conveyancers will also commission an enviro report. This will disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be carried out.

I'm buying my first flat in Tickhill with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Am I best advised to choose a Tickhill conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can conduct the legal work but they are based over three hundred kilometers drive away.

They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and in the main were content that must trump using an unknown Tickhill conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
