You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they may still be with the lawyers who oversaw the purchase.

Should our lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Withernsea.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Withernsea. There are those who acquire a property in Withernsea, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Withernsea. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to discover if the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate response. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also commission an environmental report. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be initiated.

How does conveyancing in Withernsea differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Withernsea contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Withernsea usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Withernsea or who has acted in the same development.

Should I be wary by brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Withernsea conveyancing company?

As with many professional services, often input from family and friends can be most helpful. But there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all suggest lawyers to instruct. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that the majority of banks operate an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Withernsea

It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Withernsea conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
