Should our solicitor be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Meopham.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Meopham. There are those who acquire a property in Meopham, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Meopham. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim resulting from an misleading response. The buyer’s lawyers should also commission an environmental search. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be carried out.
three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Meopham completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 premises 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.
How does conveyancing in Meopham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Meopham contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Meopham typically buy the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Meopham or who has acted in the same development.

I am in the process of buying my first property in Meopham. Conveyancing solicitor already instructed. The financial consultant advised that a survey is not necessary as the house is just 20 yrs old.
You would be well advised to undertake a Home Buyer's Report. Given the residence is over ten years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report may be enough. The report should highlight any obvious problems and recommend additional investigation if appropriate. If there are any indications of material issues get a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
