Should my conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Aberporth.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Aberporth. Plenty of people will buy a house in Aberporth, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property 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 as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Aberporth. The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to determine if the property has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers may also conduct an environmental search. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.
3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Aberporth completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 residence 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.
