It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Withernsea. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they could stored with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Withernsea relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

Do I have to visit the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Withernsea so that I can attend their offices if necessary.

Most conveyancing panel lawyers for banks undertake all of the work through the post, internet or over the phone. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction regardless of where you live in England or Wales. Nevertheless you should check if you have the option of going to the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if needed.

Will our solicitor be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Withernsea.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Withernsea. There are those who acquire a property in Withernsea, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Withernsea. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the owner to determine if the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may commence a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect reply. A buyer’s solicitors should also commission an enviro search. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be made.

Taking into account that I will soon part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a property in Withernsea I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer about myhome move ahead of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer who will be carrying out your conveyancing in Withernsea.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a matter number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Withernsea should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

Midway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Withernsea. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged a fortune from the freeholder. So far we have forked out £268 for a leasehold management information and then a further £118 for supplemental questions supplied by the purchaser's conveyancer.

Neither you or your conveyancer will have any impact over the level of the charges for this information but the typical costs for the information for Withernsea leasehold premises is £355. When it comes to Withernsea conveyancing sales it is conventional for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer these questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Regretfully there is no legislation that requires capped charges for administrative tasks. There is no set time frame by which they are obliged to issue the information.
