Will our lawyer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Abbots Bromley.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Abbots Bromley. Some people will purchase a house in Abbots Bromley, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Abbots Bromley. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the owner to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses stemming from an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s solicitors may also commission an environmental report. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.

4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Abbots Bromley completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Abbots Bromley I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Abbots Bromley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I want to rent out my leasehold apartment in Abbots Bromley. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Some leases for properties in Abbots Bromley do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

    Make sure you discover if there are any onerous prohibitions in the lease. For instance it is very common in Abbots Bromley leases that pets are not allowed in in a block in Abbots Bromley. If you love the flatin Abbots Bromley but your cat is not allowed to make the move with you then you will be presented with a hard compromise. The best form of lease structure is if the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this situation the tenants enjoy control and even though a managing agent is usually employed if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. The majority of Abbots Bromley leasehold apartments will be liable to pay a service bill for maintenance of the block set by the landlord. Should you purchase the apartment you will have to meet this contribution, normally in instalments accross the year. This may vary from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built blocks. In all likelihood there will be a rentcharge to be met yearly, ordinarily this is not a large amount, say about £25-£75 but you need to enquire as on occasion it could be many hundreds of pounds.
