Will my lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Fawley.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Fawley. Plenty of people will buy a house in Fawley, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Fawley. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the vendor to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s solicitors should also commission an environmental report. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be carried out.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Fawley?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Fawley. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am thinking of appointing a conveyancing practitioner in Fawley for my house move. Is it possible to check a solicitor's record with the profession’s regulator?

You may search for presented Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) decisions stemming from investigations from 2008 onwards. Go to Check a solicitor's record. To find information about the period before 1 January 2008, or to check a firm's record, ring 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and 09.30 - 18.00 Tuesday. International callers, dial +44 (0)121 329 6800. The SRA may recorded telephone calls for training purposes.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Fawley. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I own a studio flat in Fawley, conveyancing was carried out October 2002. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Fawley with over 90 years remaining are worth £192,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2077

With just 54 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £32,300 and £37,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.

Finally, a mortgage agreement from a bank for the remortgage of my 4 bedroom maisonette is to be issued by the end of next week. Are you able to suggest an efficient remortgage conveyancing lawyer in Fawley ?

You have come to the wrong place to search for the lowest fares for conveyancing in Fawley. We can offer you value for money conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers.
