Should our lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Ince in Makerfield.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Ince in Makerfield. There are those who purchase a property in Ince in Makerfield, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Ince in Makerfield. The standard information supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages stemming from an incorrect reply. The buyer’s solicitors will also order an enviro search. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be made.
I got the keys to my house on 12 March and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Ince in Makerfield said it would be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Ince in Makerfield particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Ince in Makerfield is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies.

Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not usually top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

I am employed by a busy estate agency in Ince in Makerfield where we see a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Ince in Makerfield conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

My aim is to acquire a garden apartment in Ince in Makerfield. Conveyancing solicitor is awaiting, from the seller, building insurance paperwork. Earlier today I was informed that the vendor needs to send the insurance schedule for the flat above as well. Why would my lawyer want to see the insurance for the other flat? Is it really necessary? We have been stalled for the last fortnight…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Ince in Makerfield to find Conveyancing in Ince in Makerfield in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the whole building - which is clearly better. Do contact your lawyer but it would appear that your conveyancing practitioner is looking to establish that the whole building is insured.
