My IFA has asked me for my Nannerch solicitor’s panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have contacted my local Nannerch branch but they have not responded to me.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Nannerch conveyancing practitioner . They keep a central record lender panel numbers.
Last September we completed a house move in Nannerch. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Nannerch?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Nannerch. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers ends up being inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Nannerch.
Are the BSA intent on creating a search tool with a view to list practices on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Nannerch?

Will our solicitor be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Nannerch.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Nannerch. There are those who acquire a house in Nannerch, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the purchaser or by their lawyers which can figure out the risks in Nannerch. The standard information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the seller to find out if the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim stemming from an misleading answer. A purchaser’s lawyers may also carry out an environmental report. This should reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be conducted.
I'm buying my first flat in Nannerch with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
