Now that you have legally bound yourself to purchase you should retain a conveyancing practitioner soon as you will have a tight a drop dead date to complete the transaction. All auction property should have a corresponding legal set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer requires.

Will our lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Tokyngton.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Tokyngton. Some people will purchase a house in Tokyngton, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the buyer or by their lawyers which should figure out the risks in Tokyngton. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the owner to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading answer. The buyer’s solicitors should also commission an environmental report. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be initiated.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Tokyngton conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Tokyngton conveyancing firm) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you talk with several firms including non Tokyngton conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be useful:
-
How many lease extensions have they completed in Tokyngton in the last year?
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such issues? Can you recommend a Tokyngton conveyancing firm to help?
Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Tokyngton conveyancing firm who can help.

My son is embarking on her first house purchase, he had his mortgage in principle. When the offer was accepted on apartment we telephoned the mortgage company to progress the mortgage application. We were very surprised to learn that mortgage lenders do not accept all solicitor, they have to be on a list, is this right?
Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Tokyngton property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
