Will our solicitor be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Breaston.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Breaston. Some people will purchase a house in Breaston, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Breaston. The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the owner to discover whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s conveyancers may also carry out an enviro search. This will higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be initiated.

We refuse to give any commission for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
