Will our solicitor be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Kesgrave.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Kesgrave. There are those who buy a house in Kesgrave, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Kesgrave. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the seller to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim stemming from an misleading response. A buyer’s solicitors will also conduct an environmental search. This will higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.

We don’t give any commission for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
