Should our solicitor be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Hatfield.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Hatfield. There are those who purchase a house in Hatfield, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that may be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Hatfield. The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the owner to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate reply. A purchaser’s lawyers will also order an enviro report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.

I am in the process of purchasing my first home in Hatfield. Conveyancing lawyer has been instructed. The broker advised that a survey is not appropriate as the property was only constructed in 2001.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the property is over ten years old the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. The report should highlight any obvious problems and suggest further investigation where appropriate. Where there are any signs of problems seek a full Building Survey from the beginning.
