Should our lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Redbridge.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Redbridge. There are those who purchase a property in Redbridge, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Redbridge. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the owner to discover if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading answer. A purchaser’s lawyers will also carry out an enviro search. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be conducted.
How does conveyancing in Redbridge differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Redbridge come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Redbridge usually buy the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Redbridge or who has acted in the same development.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Redbridge from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Redbridge can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Redbridge leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such alterations. Should you dont have the paperwork to hand do not contact the landlord without checking with your conveyancer in advance. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable verify this via your solicitors. A purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a new share certificate can be a time consuming formality and frustrates many a Redbridge home move. Where a new share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is unsettled. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unresolved.
