However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property.

The conventional set of information supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the seller to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading reply. The purchaser’s lawyers should also commission an enviro report. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Pontyclun I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Pontyclun in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
