My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Newcastle upon Tyne. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the TSB approved list of lawyers. Could you help?

The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the vendor to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may bring a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s solicitors may also commission an environmental search. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.
