The Wem conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Wem have without warning closed. I only went with them because I needed a lawyer on the Skipton conveyancing panel and my family Wem lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Skipton conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to assist.
Should our solicitor be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Wem.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Wem. There are those who buy a house in Wem, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. 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 sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Wem. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim resulting from an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s lawyers should also conduct an enviro report. This should reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be made.
