Should our solicitor be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Bracebridge Heath.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Bracebridge Heath. There are those who acquire a house in Bracebridge Heath, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Bracebridge Heath. The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual inquiry of the owner to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the seller, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect response. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also order an environmental search. This should reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be carried out.
I completed on my house on 4 June and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Bracebridge Heath said it should be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Bracebridge Heath uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Bracebridge Heath registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
