Is the fact that my solicitor in Llanybydder is not listed on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of her conveyancing?
It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Llanybydder conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.
I purchased a freehold premises in Llanybydder but nevertheless charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Llanybydder and has limited impact for conveyancing in Llanybydder but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be extinguished.
Should our solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Llanybydder.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Llanybydder. Plenty of people will buy a house in Llanybydder, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Llanybydder. The conventional set of completed inquiry 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 seller to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim resulting from an misleading reply. A purchaser’s solicitors will also commission an enviro report. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be made.
