Should my conveyancer be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Corby.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Corby. There are those who acquire a property in Corby, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from 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 as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Corby. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the owner to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate reply. A purchaser’s lawyers may also commission an enviro search. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.
How does conveyancing in Corby differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Corby approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Corby typically purchase 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 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 Corby or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Corby I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Corby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
