Will my lawyer be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Burford.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Burford. There are those who buy a property in Burford, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house 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 purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Burford. The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to discover if the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim resulting from an misleading answer. The buyer’s lawyers will also commission an environmental search. This will disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be initiated.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Burford is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Burford are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Burford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Burford may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

We are one month into a leasehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the estate agent to execute conveyancing in Burford. I am am very disappointed with the quality of service. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
They would have to be really poor to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage offer been generated? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your new conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental costs and frustration. So that should be your starting point.

My husband and I intend to purchase our 1st home in Burford. Conveyancing practitioner already appointed. The financial consultant suggested that a survey is not necessary as the property is just 20 yrs old.
At the very least you should have a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises is over ten years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may suffice. They will highlight any obvious problems and suggest further investigation if appropriate. Where there are any indications of material issues get a full structural survey.
