The Bulwell conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Bulwell have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I had to have a lawyer on the Santander conveyancing panel and my previous Bulwell lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What should be my next steps?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Santander conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to assist.

Should my solicitor be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Bulwell.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Bulwell. There are those who buy a property in Bulwell, completely 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 get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their lawyers which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Bulwell. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could issue a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading response. A buyer’s lawyers will also commission an enviro search. This will disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be initiated.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bulwell is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bulwell you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bulwell may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
