Will our conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Shepshed.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Shepshed. Some people will buy a house in Shepshed, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Shepshed. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the owner to determine whether the property has ever been flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The buyer’s solicitors will also conduct an environmental report. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be initiated.
I bought my house on 12 September and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Shepshed advises it would be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Shepshed particularly slow to register?

Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any other parties.

Registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore post completion formalities is not typically primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
