Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Marshfield.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Marshfield. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Marshfield, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Marshfield. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to find out whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. The purchaser’s solicitors will also carry out an enviro report. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be made.
three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Marshfield concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Marshfield
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Marshfield conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
