Should my lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Hoddesdon.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Hoddesdon. There are those who acquire a property in Hoddesdon, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Hoddesdon. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also order an environmental report. This will disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be initiated.

How does conveyancing in Hoddesdon differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Hoddesdon approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Hoddesdon tend to buy the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Hoddesdon or who has acted in the same development.
