I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Whitchurch. I have lived for the previous 20 years in Whitchurch. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Whitchurch conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it will likely be be of importance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. Sometimes houses with day to day issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Whitchurch should provide you some helpful advice here.

we are a couple who wish to acquire a purpose built apartment in Whitchurch with a homeloan from Bank of Ireland.We use our Whitchurch conveyancing solicitor but Bank of Ireland advised that her practice is not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Bank of Ireland panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Bank of Ireland approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland
Should my conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Whitchurch.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Whitchurch. Some people will buy a property in Whitchurch, 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 get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Whitchurch. The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the vendor to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The buyer’s lawyers should also carry out an enviro report. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be made.
