Should my solicitor be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Guildford.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Guildford. Some people will purchase a house in Guildford, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that may be carried out by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Guildford. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the seller to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a buyer may commence a claim for damages stemming from an misleading reply. A buyer’s conveyancers should also order an enviro search. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be made.
Me and my brother have a terraced Victorian property in Guildford. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review 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 Guildford and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Guildford is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Guildford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Guildford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Guildford may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I am 17 days into a freehold purchase having been recommend to a firm by the estate agent to handle our conveyancing in Guildford. I am am extremely dissatisfied with the level of service. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
A conveyancer would have to be very poor to suggest replacing them. Has your mortgage been sent? If so you need to advise them of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your conveyancer needs to be on the banks panel to avoid added costs and delays. So that should be your starting point.
