Will my solicitor be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Wem.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Wem. There are those who purchase a house in Wem, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Wem. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect reply. A buyer’s conveyancers will also commission an enviro search. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.

five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Wem concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Wem is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Wem are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wem you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wem may decide 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 property.

Been looking for a property lawyer for freehold sale conveyancing in Wem. I'm selling, simple no mortgage to pay off, no rush, no onward chain. Had an estimate from a solicitor for £900 plus VAT which is a tad steep given that its so straightforward. Can I pay less for conveyancing in Wem?

As it’s a sale only, £425 + VAT is likely to be about the cheapest for sale conveyancing in Wem.
