Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Albany Park. Some people will acquire a house in Albany Park, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property.

The purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an enviro search. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be carried out.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Albany Park I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Albany Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
