Should our lawyer be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Danbury.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Danbury. There are those who acquire a house in Danbury, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Danbury. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading response. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also commission an enviro report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be carried out.
I have todayfound out that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Danbury for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Danbury conveyancing specialists.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Danbury with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it could affect my loan with the lender. 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.
I have been advised by a number of selling agents in Danbury to find a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any commission for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Danbury. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Danbury - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
