Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Nefyn. Some people will purchase a property in Nefyn, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Nefyn. The standard property information forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the owner to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect response.

There is not much else in Nefyn suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
