Should our conveyancer be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Clifton.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Clifton. There are those who acquire a house in Clifton, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Clifton. The conventional set of information given 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 premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect response. The buyer’s lawyers should also order an environmental search. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be carried out.

Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing practitioner in Clifton who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
