As someone with no idea as to the Acrefair conveyancing process what is your top tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Acrefair

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Acrefair or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion the bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Acrefair is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.

On occasion a third party with a vested interest may try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which will figure out the risks in Acrefair. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the owner to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim stemming from an inaccurate answer. The buyer’s conveyancers may also conduct an enviro search. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be conducted.
