Will our solicitor be raising enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Alnmouth.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Alnmouth. Plenty of people will buy a house in Alnmouth, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Alnmouth. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the seller to find out whether the property has historically flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading answer. The buyer’s conveyancers should also order an environmental report. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be made.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Alnmouth
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Alnmouth conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by senior management.
