Should our solicitor be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Langland.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Langland. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Langland, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Langland. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the vendor to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect response. The buyer’s conveyancers may also carry out an enviro report. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be initiated.

My wife and I may need to rent out our Langland basement flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Langland conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Langland conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain permission from your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet without prior consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
