Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Albrighton.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Albrighton. Some people will buy a house in Albrighton, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property 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 as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which will figure out the risks in Albrighton. The standard completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the vendor to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading reply. The purchaser’s lawyers will also order an enviro report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be initiated.

How does conveyancing in Albrighton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Albrighton approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Albrighton typically acquire 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Albrighton or who has acted in the same development.
