Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the TSB Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Foots Cray?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Foots Cray.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Foots Cray. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Foots Cray, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Foots Cray. The standard property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the seller to find out whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may bring a claim for damages resulting from an misleading answer. The buyer’s lawyers should also order an environmental report. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be carried out.

How does conveyancing in Foots Cray differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Foots Cray come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Foots Cray typically buy the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Foots Cray or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Foots Cray I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Foots Cray suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
