The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Bankside. Some people will purchase a house in Bankside, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be carried out by the buyer or by their lawyers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Bankside. The standard information given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the owner to find out whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate response. The purchaser’s lawyers will also commission an environmental search. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be initiated.
I am buying a new build house in Bankside with a mortgage from TSB. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it would impact my mortgage with TSB. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
