Will my conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Uppingham.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Uppingham. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Uppingham, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Uppingham. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the vendor to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate response. The buyer’s conveyancers will also commission an environmental search. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Uppingham with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

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

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Uppingham. I've chance upon a web site which looks to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all formalities done via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
