Should our solicitor be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Eccles.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Eccles. Plenty of people will buy a property in Eccles, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Eccles. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the vendor to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s solicitors should also carry out an enviro report. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be made.
I'm buying a new build house in Eccles benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
