Should our conveyancer be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Middleton.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Middleton. Some people will purchase a property in Middleton, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Middleton. The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the owner to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s solicitors may also commission an environmental report. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be made.
How does conveyancing in Middleton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Middleton approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Middleton 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 conveyancers 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 Middleton or who has acted in the same development.
