The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Underwood.

However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Underwood. The standard information given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the owner to discover if the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate response. The buyer’s lawyers may also commission an enviro report. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be conducted.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Underwood is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Underwood are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Underwood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Underwood may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
