Will our lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Pontprennau.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Pontprennau. Some people will purchase a house in Pontprennau, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Pontprennau. The conventional set of information supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the owner to determine whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect reply. The purchaser’s solicitors should also order an enviro report. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Pontprennau concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
