Will my conveyancer be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Parkstone.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Parkstone. Some people will acquire a house in Parkstone, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Parkstone. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the vendor to determine if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages stemming from an incorrect reply. The buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an enviro report. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be initiated.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have today placed an offer on an apartment in Parkstone and the estate agent that we are dealing with recommended his lawyer. She quoted £800 including VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound reasonable?
