I have just been advised by my financial adviser that my Towcester property lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. What can I do to check?

The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Towcester lawyer directly. You lawyer should inform you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Towcester conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.

Is there a search tool that I can use to discover of the solicitor conducting my conveyancing in Towcester is on the lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Leeds Building Society thus paying £192.00 in additional conveyancing fees.

Will my solicitor be making enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Towcester.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Towcester. There are those who purchase a house in Towcester, 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, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Towcester. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the vendor to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an environmental report. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.

I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Towcester for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest way to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Towcester conveyancing specialists.
