Will our lawyer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Coventry.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Coventry. There are those who acquire a property in Coventry, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Coventry. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the owner to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s solicitors may also order an enviro report. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be initiated.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Coventry. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Coventry - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
