Will our conveyancer be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Patcham.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Patcham. Some people will purchase a house in Patcham, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Patcham. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to determine whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading answer. A buyer’s lawyers should also carry out an environmental search. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be initiated.

I have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Patcham. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Patcham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

How does conveyancing in Patcham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Patcham approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Patcham typically buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Patcham or who has acted in the same development.
