Will my lawyer be making enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Empingham.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Empingham. Plenty of people will buy a property in Empingham, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Empingham. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer could bring a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s conveyancers may also order an environmental report. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be carried out.
