Should our lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Builth Wells.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Builth Wells. There are those who purchase a house in Builth Wells, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, 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 qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Builth Wells. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the vendor to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may bring a legal claim for losses stemming from an incorrect reply. The buyer’s lawyers should also order an enviro report. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be made.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Builth Wells I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Builth Wells suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
