Will our conveyancer be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Llanbradach.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Llanbradach. There are those who purchase a property in Llanbradach, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the buyer or by their solicitors which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Llanbradach. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the owner to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages resulting from an incorrect reply. A buyer’s solicitors may also conduct an environmental search. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be conducted.
How does conveyancing in Llanbradach differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Llanbradach come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Llanbradach usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Llanbradach or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Llanbradach I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanbradach suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

We have utilised the numerous comparison based websites and the fee estimates are from all across the the UK. Is it advisable to have a Llanbradach conveyancing practitioner local to your prospective new home? I am willing to do all the communicating electronically, but I guess at some point we may be required to physically go into the property lawyer's office to sign papers?
The lawyer does not have to be in Llanbradach, but choosing local means that you have the option to go in if required, for instance, if a signature is immediately necessary. Also, a Llanbradach solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local lawyer) with them, which will help smooth the process.
