It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Balham. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Balham relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Balham.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Balham. Some people will acquire a property in Balham, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their lawyers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Balham. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the seller to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s lawyers may also carry out an enviro report. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be conducted.
