Should my solicitor be making enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Stroud.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Stroud. There are those who acquire a property in Stroud, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their lawyers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Stroud. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the seller to determine if the property has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages stemming from an incorrect response. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also commission an enviro report. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.
How does conveyancing in Stroud differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Stroud come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Stroud usually purchase 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 conveyancers 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 Stroud or who has acted in the same development.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I am looking at a two maisonettes in Stroud which have about 50 years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is advisable to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
