Will our conveyancer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Burry Port.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Burry Port. Plenty of people will buy a house in Burry Port, completely aware 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 obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Burry Port. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the owner to discover if the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer could bring a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s conveyancers will also carry out an environmental report. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.
I am purchasing a new build house in Burry Port with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in Burry Port where we have experienced a number of leasehold sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Burry Port conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Burry Port, conveyancing was carried out in 2002. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Burry Port with a long lease are worth £176,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2106
With only 80 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
