Should our solicitor be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Crowle.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Crowle. Some people will buy a property in Crowle, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Crowle. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the owner to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may issue a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s conveyancers will also order an enviro report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.
My wife and I have a terraced Victorian house in Crowle. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Bank of Ireland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Bank of Ireland to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Crowle and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
I am attracted to a couple of maisonettes in Crowle which have about fifty years unexpired on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
