The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Linton. There are those who buy a property in Linton, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property.

If the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading answer. The purchaser’s lawyers should also order an environmental search. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be carried out.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Linton I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Linton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you.
