The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Gilberdyke. There are those who purchase a house in Gilberdyke, completely 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 obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Gilberdyke. The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the seller to find out whether the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate answer. The buyer’s conveyancers will also carry out an environmental search. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be made.

How does conveyancing in Gilberdyke differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Gilberdyke contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Gilberdyke tend to buy 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 conveyancers 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 Gilberdyke or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Gilberdyke in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not grant a loan on this type of house.
