Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Washwood Heath

What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the RBS Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Washwood Heath?

First, 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 at a cost.

However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Washwood Heath. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the owner to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading answer. The buyer’s solicitors may also carry out an enviro report. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be carried out.

I am purchasing a new build house in Washwood Heath with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.
