My wife and I are about to complete buying a house in Melton Constable but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor in the sum of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Aldermore are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
The conveyancing practitioner that is on a Aldermore conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Aldermore of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Melton Constable.

Should our lawyer be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Melton Constable.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Melton Constable. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Melton Constable, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Melton Constable. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading answer. A purchaser’s lawyers will also conduct an environmental report. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be initiated.
