We had appointed solicitors with offices in Nuthall on the Principality solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate sum for the legal aspects of the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Principality but by your Nuthall property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Principality panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

I have instructed a Nuthall property lawyer having made sure that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancing practitioner will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Nuthall postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Nuthall.

Should our conveyancer be asking questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Nuthall.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Nuthall. There are those who purchase a house in Nuthall, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Nuthall. The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the owner to discover whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the seller, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s solicitors should also conduct an environmental search. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.

We are about to exchange buying a property in Nuthall but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the current proprietors of four thousand pounds in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet my mortgage company will not permit this. Should they have been informed?

Your lawyer that is on a lender approved list is obliged to inform the bank of any changes to the sale price. In the event that you did not allow your conveyancer to disclose the reduction to your lender then they would have to disinstructing themselves from acting for you and the mortgage company.
