Should my solicitor be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Rothley.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Rothley. Some people will acquire a house in Rothley, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Rothley. The standard property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the vendor to discover if the premises has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s solicitors will also order an enviro search. This should indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.

I am looking at a two flats in Rothley which have approximately forty five years remaining on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Rothley is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The nearer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the marketability of the premises. For most purchasers and banks, leases with less than 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Rothley conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
