Will our conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Timsbury.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Timsbury. There are those who purchase a house in Timsbury, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Timsbury. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the owner to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s conveyancers will also order an enviro search. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.
I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Timsbury for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Timsbury conveyancing specialists.
I was pointed in your direction by a number of selling agents in Timsbury to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your site ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any financial incentive for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
My a dozen years ago. He has since got married, widowed and has recently remarried. He now wants to the sell the Timsbury property. I believe he will simply be requested to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the conveyancing practitioner but he is worried it will hold up the sale of the apartment. Is it worth updating the Land Registry documents for the property?
You are not required to update the register providing you have the evidence required to show how the change of name occurred.
Any purchaser’s lawyer should review the registered information and requisition evidence to prove the name change for instance marriage documentation.
