Recently asked questions about conveyancing in South Woodford

My fiance and I are looking to acquire a flat in South Woodford and are in fact using a South Woodford conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Leeds Building Society have this morning contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our South Woodford solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is normal for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the bank's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own South Woodford solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

Will our conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in South Woodford.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in South Woodford. Some people will purchase a property in South Woodford, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in South Woodford. The standard information given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the owner to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim stemming from an misleading response. A buyer’s conveyancers will also commission an environmental search. This should indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be made.
