Should our conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Kingsland.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Kingsland. Some people will buy a property in Kingsland, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Kingsland. The conventional set of information supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to find out if the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect reply. The buyer’s conveyancers should also conduct an environmental search. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.
My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Kingsland. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Clydesdale. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Kingsland and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Kingsland I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kingsland suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
