Should our solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Sudbury.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Sudbury. There are those who acquire a property in Sudbury, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Sudbury. The conventional set of information supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to determine whether the premises has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading reply. The buyer’s lawyers may also carry out an environmental report. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.

Sudbury conveyancing on leasehold flats more often than not requires the purchaser’s solicitor submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address these enquiries most will be content to assist. They are at liberty to charge a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it exceeds £800. The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the invoice is technically not due. In reality one has no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
