The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the TSB conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the TSB conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Worplesdon conveyancing practitioners are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Barclays?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Barclays completed the survey? Have you informed Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Worplesdon. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Worplesdon bank branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Worplesdon conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Provided that the lawyer is on the lender panel, they must adhere to the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Should our conveyancer be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Worplesdon.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Worplesdon.

The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to discover if the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s lawyers will also commission an enviro search. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be made.
