Should our solicitor be raising questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Leighton Buzzard.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Leighton Buzzard. There are those who purchase a house in Leighton Buzzard, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the buyer or by their lawyers which will figure out the risks in Leighton Buzzard. The standard property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the owner to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a claim for damages resulting from an incorrect reply. A buyer’s lawyers may also order an environmental search. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be initiated.
