Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Enfield Lock. Some people will buy a house in Enfield Lock, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side 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 premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Enfield Lock. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the owner to discover if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect response.

How does conveyancing in Enfield Lock differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Enfield Lock approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Enfield Lock usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Enfield Lock or who has acted in the same development.
