Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Carlisle

We are due to complete buying a property in Carlisle but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor of £2k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Virgin Money are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?

Your conveyancer that is on a Virgin Money conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Virgin Money of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the price change to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Carlisle.

Will our lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Carlisle.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Carlisle. Plenty of people will buy a property in Carlisle, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that can be initiated by the buyer or by their lawyers which should figure out the risks in Carlisle. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to determine whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s solicitors may also carry out an enviro report. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be made.
