Should my lawyer be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Winterbourne.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Winterbourne. Some people will purchase a house in Winterbourne, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Winterbourne. The standard property information forms supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the owner to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect reply. A buyer’s conveyancers may also conduct an enviro search. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be carried out.

How does conveyancing in Winterbourne differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Winterbourne approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Winterbourne tend to buy 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 Winterbourne or who has acted in the same development.
