Should our conveyancer be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Jesmond.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Jesmond. There are those who buy a property in Jesmond, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Jesmond. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to find out whether the premises has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages resulting from an misleading reply. The purchaser’s solicitors may also commission an enviro search. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be initiated.

How does conveyancing in Jesmond differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Jesmond approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Jesmond usually purchase the land, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Jesmond or who has acted in the same development.

My uncle has suggested that I use his lawyers for conveyancing in Jesmond. Should I choose my own conveyancer?

Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold flat in Jesmond. Conveyancing and Halifax mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Jesmond who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?

First contact HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to instruct a Jesmond conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
