Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Birkenhead. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Birkenhead?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

My wife and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Lloyds as we want to conduct renovations to our property in Birkenhead. Do we need to choose a nearby Birkenhead solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Lloyds don't usually appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

Coventry BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a house in Birkenhead has been agreed to, what happens next?

The estate agent will wish to be informed of your lawyer's details (be sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Coventry BS or the broker and complete any outstanding forms. Coventry BS will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Coventry BS will issue the offer to you and your lawyers.

Will our solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Birkenhead.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Birkenhead. There are those who purchase a property in Birkenhead, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken 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 numerous searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Birkenhead. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the owner to determine whether the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect reply. A buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an enviro search. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Birkenhead is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Birkenhead are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Birkenhead you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Birkenhead may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
