Will my solicitor be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Bedlington.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Bedlington. Some people will buy a house in Bedlington, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that can be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Bedlington. The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to discover whether the premises has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s lawyers will also carry out an enviro search. This will disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be initiated.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Bedlington I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bedlington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
