Will my lawyer be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Frenchay.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Frenchay. There are those who acquire a property in Frenchay, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart 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 Frenchay. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the vendor to determine whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a legal claim for losses resulting from an incorrect response. A buyer’s lawyers will also carry out an environmental search. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be made.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Frenchay with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it could impact my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Frenchay is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Frenchay are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Frenchay you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Frenchay may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
