Should our lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Coedpoeth.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Coedpoeth. Some people will acquire a house in Coedpoeth, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Coedpoeth. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the seller to determine whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s solicitors will also order an enviro search. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.
I am purchasing my first flat in Coedpoeth benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it would affect my loan with The Mortgage Works. Is this normal?.
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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Coedpoeth is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Coedpoeth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Coedpoeth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Coedpoeth may ascertain 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.
