Much to our surprise we have been told by our broker that my Prenton the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. How can I be sure whether this is correct?

- Choose an alternative lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are Persuade your lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the Platform Home Loans Ltd conveyancing panel
Should our conveyancer be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Prenton.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Prenton. There are those who purchase a property in Prenton, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that may be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Prenton. The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to determine if the property has historically flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s lawyers will also order an environmental search. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be made.
