Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wadhurst

I am in the process of selling my home in Wadhurst and the estate agent has just called to advise that the purchasers are appointing a new solicitor. I am told that this is due to the fact that the bank will only engage with solicitors on their approved list. On what basis would a leading mortgage company only work with specific law firms rather the firm that they want to select for their conveyancing in Wadhurst ?

UK lenders have always had an approved set of law firms that can act for them, but in the last few years big names such as Lloyds Banking Group, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for more than 15 years.

Lending institutions blame a rise in fraud as the reason for the pruning – criteria have been tightened as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. Banks tend not to reveal how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your purchasers are unlikely to have any sway in the decision.

I am thinking of refinancing my flat in Wadhurst, does my lawyer need to be on the Clydesdale Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, but Clydesdale would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

Will my solicitor be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Wadhurst.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Wadhurst. Some people will purchase a house in Wadhurst, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Wadhurst. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the seller to discover whether the property has historically flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser could commence a compensation claim stemming from an misleading response. The purchaser’s conveyancers may also carry out an enviro report. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be carried out.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Wadhurst I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Wadhurst in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
