The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Waterhouses. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Waterhouses, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

The standard information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate response. The buyer’s solicitors should also order an environmental report. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be carried out.

How does conveyancing in Waterhouses differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Waterhouses come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Waterhouses tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Waterhouses or who has acted in the same development.
