Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Stepney.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Stepney. Plenty of people will acquire a house in Stepney, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the buyer or by their lawyers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Stepney. The standard information sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the owner to determine whether the property has historically flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages stemming from an misleading response. The purchaser’s solicitors should also carry out an environmental report. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.

Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Stepney. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).

You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
