Should my conveyancer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Werrington.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Werrington. Some people will purchase a property in Werrington, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Werrington. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. The buyer’s solicitors will also carry out an enviro search. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be made.
five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Werrington concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Werrington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Werrington contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in Werrington usually acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Werrington or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Werrington I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Werrington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
