Will our conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Beeston.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Beeston. Plenty of people will buy a house in Beeston, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the purchaser or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Beeston. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading answer. A buyer’s lawyers should also order an environmental search. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be conducted.
I am purchasing a new build house in Beeston with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Beeston ground floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Beeston conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Beeston do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
