Should my lawyer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in St Margarets.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in St Margarets. There are those who acquire a house in St Margarets, fully expectant 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 obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in St Margarets. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the owner to find out if the property has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s lawyers may also order an environmental report. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be made.

My wife and I may need to rent out our St Margarets 1st floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a St Margarets conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in St Margarets do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a St Margarets conveyancing firm to help?

I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a bungalow in St Margarets which is to be marketed. The house has never been registered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that many estate agents will insist that it is completed before they will proceed. What's the procedure for this?
In the circumstances you refer to it seems prudent to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
