Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Tredegar.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Tredegar. Some people will purchase a property in Tredegar, fully aware 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 obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Tredegar. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the vendor to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading answer. The buyer’s conveyancers should also order an enviro search. This should reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.

I wish to sublet my leasehold apartment in Tredegar. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
Notwithstanding that your previous Tredegar conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain permission via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. The consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
