Should our solicitor be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Cilfynydd.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Cilfynydd. Some people will purchase a property in Cilfynydd, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Cilfynydd. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the owner to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect response. A buyer’s solicitors should also order an environmental search. This should reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be carried out.

Last January I purchased a leasehold property in Cilfynydd. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
