Will my conveyancer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Billingham.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Billingham. Plenty of people will acquire a property in Billingham, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Billingham. The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to determine if the property has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages stemming from an incorrect reply. A buyer’s conveyancers should 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 made.
How does conveyancing in Billingham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Billingham contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Billingham tend to acquire the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Billingham or who has acted in the same development.
