Will my solicitor be raising questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Isle of Dogs.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Isle of Dogs. Some people will acquire a property in Isle of Dogs, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the purchaser or by their lawyers which can figure out the risks in Isle of Dogs. The standard information supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses stemming from an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s lawyers may also commission an environmental report. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.
five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Isle of Dogs took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Isle of Dogs before instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to give a loan on such a house.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Isle of Dogs both have approximately 50 years left on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Isle of Dogs. The lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
