Should our lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Hanham.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Hanham. Some people will purchase a property in Hanham, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Hanham. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the owner to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect response. The buyer’s lawyers may also commission an enviro report. This will disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be initiated.
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Hanham , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Hanham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Hanham is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
