Should our solicitor be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Y Felinheli.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Y Felinheli. There are those who buy a house in Y Felinheli, completely 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 get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their solicitors which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Y Felinheli. The standard completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the vendor to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a compensation claim stemming from an misleading answer. A buyer’s solicitors may also carry out an environmental report. This should indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.
How does conveyancing in Y Felinheli differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Y Felinheli approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Y Felinheli typically acquire the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Y Felinheli or who has acted in the same development.
