Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in New Inn.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in New Inn. There are those who buy a house in New Inn, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in New Inn.

If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The buyer’s solicitors should also conduct an environmental search. This will higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be conducted.
How does conveyancing in New Inn differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in New Inn come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in New Inn tend to buy the real estate, 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 used to new build conveyancing in New Inn or who has acted in the same development.

My partner and I hope to purchase our first house in New Inn. Conveyancing practitioner already selected. The mortgage adviser pointed out that a survey is not needed as the property was only constructed in 2001.
As the bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence is more than ten years old the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. They will highlight any obvious issues and recommend additional investigation where appropriate. If there are any indications of problems get a full Building Survey from the beginning.
