We are purchasing a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Widdrington who is on the Yorkshire BS approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Widdrington.
We're in Widdrington, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Kent Reliance , and our solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Should our lawyer be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Widdrington.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Widdrington. There are those who acquire a property in Widdrington, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Widdrington. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the seller to determine if the premises has ever been flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s conveyancers may also conduct an environmental search. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be carried out.
