In the event thatI were to acquire a straightforward homein Newport Pagnell for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Newport Pagnell?
Any savings you would achieve would be limited to the disbursement for searches. Your conveyancer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the sellers conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be significant.
My husband and I intend to purchase a newbuild apartment in Newport Pagnell with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society.We use our Newport Pagnell conveyancing solicitor but Yorkshire Building Society says her practice is not on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Yorkshire Building Society panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Yorkshire Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Yorkshire Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Yorkshire Building Society approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire Building Society
Should our solicitor be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Newport Pagnell.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Newport Pagnell. Some people will purchase a property in Newport Pagnell, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Newport Pagnell. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim stemming from an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s conveyancers should also carry out an enviro report. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.
