Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Attleborough

I am considering applying for a HSBC mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Attleborough with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for HSBC ?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the HSBC conveyancing panel, but HSBC would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.

Will my solicitor be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Attleborough.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Attleborough. There are those who acquire a property in Attleborough, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Attleborough. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to determine whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading reply. A purchaser’s conveyancers should also commission an enviro search. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be carried out.

I got the keys to my house on 9 October and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Attleborough expressed confidence that it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Attleborough uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Attleborough is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

My solicitors in Attleborough have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the lender conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?

It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the bank directly.
