I am thinking of refinancing my house in Canford Cliffs, does my lawyer need to be on the Nottingham Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Nottingham will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

Will my conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Canford Cliffs.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Canford Cliffs. Some people will acquire a house in Canford Cliffs, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Canford Cliffs. The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the owner to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim resulting from an misleading answer. A buyer’s solicitors will also commission an enviro report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be initiated.
How does conveyancing in Canford Cliffs differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Canford Cliffs approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Canford Cliffs usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Canford Cliffs or who has acted in the same development.
