Will our lawyer be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Evesham.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Evesham. There are those who buy a property in Evesham, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Evesham. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual inquiry of the vendor to discover if the premises has ever been flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading reply. A buyer’s solicitors should also order an environmental report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be initiated.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Evesham I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Evesham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
