Will our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Halesworth.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Halesworth. There are those who buy a property in Halesworth, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Halesworth. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the vendor to discover whether the property has historically flooded.

The buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an environmental report. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be made.
I have a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Halesworth. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess 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 Halesworth and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
