Should my conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Meopham.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Meopham. Plenty of people will buy a property in Meopham, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Meopham. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the seller to find out whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate response. The buyer’s lawyers may also order an enviro report. This will disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be conducted.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Meopham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
