Completed the sale of my flat in Rossington last August but the buyer keeps telephoning daily to say her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?

My fiance and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Rossington with a mortgage from Barclays Direct.We like our Rossington conveyancing solicitor but Barclays Direct says he's not on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Barclays Direct panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Barclays Direct panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Barclays Direct approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct
Should my conveyancer be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Rossington.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Rossington. There are those who purchase a property in Rossington, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Rossington. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the vendor to discover if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect answer. A buyer’s conveyancers should also carry out an environmental search. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be made.
