Will our lawyer be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Corsham.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Corsham. Some people will acquire a house in Corsham, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Corsham. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s lawyers will also conduct an enviro report. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.

My wife and I may need to rent out our Corsham basement flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Corsham conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Your lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will say if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Corsham do not prevent an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.

You have 55 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations.
