Should my conveyancer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Boncath.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Boncath. Plenty of people will acquire a house in Boncath, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Boncath. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. A buyer’s lawyers may also conduct an enviro search. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be initiated.
How does conveyancing in Boncath differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Boncath come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Boncath usually buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Boncath or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Boncath is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Boncath are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Boncath you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Boncath may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
