Should our conveyancer be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Lincolnshire.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Lincolnshire. There are those who purchase a house in Lincolnshire, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Lincolnshire. The conventional set of information supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the seller to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an enviro report. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be made.
My wife and I purchased a renovated Edwardian property in Lincolnshire. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Lincolnshire and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Lincolnshire I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lincolnshire for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
