Should our conveyancer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Harton.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Harton. There are those who buy a house in Harton, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Harton. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the owner to discover if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages resulting from an incorrect response. The buyer’s conveyancers should also order an environmental report. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be initiated.
