Should our conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Marchington.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Marchington. There are those who purchase a property in Marchington, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Marchington. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the seller to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading response. The buyer’s lawyers will also order an enviro search. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be made.

How does conveyancing in Marchington differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Marchington contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because builders in Marchington typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Marchington or who has acted in the same development.
