Should our lawyer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Keston.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Keston. Plenty of people will buy a house in Keston, completely expectant 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 get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Keston. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to discover if the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading response. A buyer’s lawyers should also carry out an enviro search. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be carried out.

How does conveyancing in Keston differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Keston come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Keston typically purchase 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 conveyancers 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 Keston or who has acted in the same development.

I'm remortgaging my current home to a BTL mortgage with Barnsley Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity towards further property. The area we are interested in is Keston. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two lenders and tie in the conveyances?
