Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Gatley. There are those who buy a house in Gatley, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that may be initiated by the purchaser or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Gatley. The conventional set of information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover if the premises has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages resulting from an incorrect response. A buyer’s conveyancers may also commission an enviro report. This will disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be carried out.

Mortgage Companies tend to imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Gatley property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
