After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Broad Haven accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Broad Haven. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Nationwide going?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Broad Haven conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancer is on the Nationwide approved list. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some home buyers would apply for a home loan with Nationwide and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to press on with searches.
Will our solicitor be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Broad Haven.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Broad Haven. There are those who buy a property in Broad Haven, 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, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken 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 number of checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Broad Haven. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the vendor to determine if the property has historically flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect reply. The buyer’s lawyers may also order an environmental report. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be carried out.
