Will my solicitor be making enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Holbrook.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Holbrook.

However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property.

Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which will figure out the risks in Holbrook. The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine if the premises has ever been flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not notified by the seller, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. The buyer’s solicitors will also carry out an enviro report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be made.
Me and my brother have a semi-detached Georgian property in Holbrook. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Holbrook and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I'm buying a bungalow in Holbrook. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my conveyancer's name on the list. Is this a big problem?
Not all staff in the practice must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
