Will our solicitor be raising enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Lakenheath.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Lakenheath. Some people will acquire a house in Lakenheath, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Lakenheath. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the vendor to discover if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect answer. A purchaser’s lawyers should also commission an environmental report. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.
Me and my brother purchased a renovated Edwardian house in Lakenheath. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Santander. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Santander to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Lakenheath and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Lakenheath I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lakenheath suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
