My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Wolverley and my parents have transferred the ten percent deposit to my property lawyer. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
Your conveyancing practitioner is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Will our solicitor be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Wolverley.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Wolverley. Plenty of people will buy a property in Wolverley, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that can be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Wolverley. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the owner to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate response. A buyer’s conveyancers may also commission an environmental report. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be conducted.
