I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Mablethorpe for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
A decade ago most mortgage companies had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Mablethorpe conveyancing firms would have been on many lender panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more information from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals who work for them and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of transactions. Many Mablethorpe conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Mablethorpe is one of the hundreds of areas where the lawyers showing on our search results are members of the panel for Bank of Scotland.
Should my conveyancer be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Mablethorpe.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Mablethorpe. Some people will buy a property in Mablethorpe, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Mablethorpe. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the owner to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate response. The buyer’s solicitors may also conduct an environmental report. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.
How does conveyancing in Mablethorpe differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Mablethorpe contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Mablethorpe tend to acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Mablethorpe or who has acted in the same development.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Mablethorpe. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Mablethorpe - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
