Me and my fiance are buying a 2 bedroom apartment in Dolwyddelan with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Dolwyddelan solicitor, however the bank advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or keep our Dolwyddelan conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This feels very unfair; are we not able to demand that the lender use our Dolwyddelan property lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Dolwyddelan conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Dolwyddelan. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Dolwyddelan relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Will my solicitor be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Dolwyddelan.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Dolwyddelan. Plenty of people will buy a house in Dolwyddelan, completely expectant 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 obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart 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 figure out the risks in Dolwyddelan. The standard information supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the vendor to determine if the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s lawyers may also carry out an environmental search. This should reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.
