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.

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.

I am buying a new build apartment in Bedlington. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bedlington

    Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

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.

Should I choose a Bedlington conveyancing practitioner based in the area that I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can execute the conveyancing however they are based 200miles away.

The benefit of a local Bedlington conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that must outweigh using an unknown Bedlington conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
