Will our solicitor be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Bosham.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Bosham. There are those who purchase a property in Bosham, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Bosham.

A purchaser’s conveyancers should also order an environmental report. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.
How does conveyancing in Bosham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bosham approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Bosham usually acquire the site, 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 conveyancers 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 Bosham or who has acted in the same development.

I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Bosham. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as normal as all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
