Will our solicitor be raising enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Filey.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Filey. Some people will acquire a house in Filey, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Filey. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the owner to find out if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim resulting from an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s solicitors should also order an environmental report. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be initiated.

How does conveyancing in Filey differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Filey come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Filey tend to acquire the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Filey or who has acted in the same development.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Filey?

Conveyancing - in Filey or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects prior to you complete your move.
