Will my conveyancer be raising enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Totteridge.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Totteridge. There are those who purchase a house in Totteridge, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Totteridge. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the owner to find out if the premises has historically flooded.

How does conveyancing in Totteridge differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Totteridge approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Totteridge tend to 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Totteridge or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Totteridge I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Totteridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
