Should my lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Bottesford.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Bottesford. Some people will buy a property in Bottesford, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house 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 as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Bottesford. The standard completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the vendor to discover if the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may commence a claim for damages stemming from an incorrect answer. The buyer’s conveyancers should also order an enviro report. This will disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.
I was pointed in your direction by a couple of local property agents in Bottesford to select a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your site ahead of another?
We refuse to make any commission for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Bottesford
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Bottesford conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will give the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Bottesford. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Bottesford - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
