Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Keswick. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Keswick, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded.

The standard property information forms supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the seller to discover if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an environmental report. This should reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.

I am employed by a long established estate agency in Keswick where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Keswick conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner 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 wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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 buyer.
