I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Mosborough. I need to find out if they are on the Bank of Scotland approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?

You should phone the lawyer and enquire whether they can act for the lender. Alternatively you should call Bank of Scotland who may be able to help.

I am assisting my mother sell her property in Mosborough. Does the conveyancer commission an EPC or do I organise this?

After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was maintained a mandatory element of moving property. An EPC should be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. It is not something that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are using a Mosborough conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with long established local energy assessors

Intending to buy a flat in Mosborough. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Mosborough property lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.

Should our lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Mosborough.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Mosborough. There are those who buy a property in Mosborough, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Mosborough. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the vendor to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim resulting from an misleading answer. The purchaser’s solicitors may also conduct an environmental report. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be carried out.

There are numerous properties in Mosborough on unadopted roads. My husband and I are buying one such house. What would be the advantages and disadvantages of buying a residence on a privately owned road?

Mosborough conveyancing solicitors are used to dealing propertieson unadopted roads. The conveyancer will review the Land Registry data to identify any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners pay into to maintain the road. If there is one, the road should be maintained and look nicer than council owned.
