Will my solicitor be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Narborough.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Narborough. There are those who acquire a house in Narborough, fully aware 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 get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Narborough. The standard information sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the owner to determine if the premises has historically flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s conveyancers may also order an environmental report. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be initiated.
How does conveyancing in Narborough differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Narborough come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Narborough usually 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 used to new build conveyancing in Narborough or who has acted in the same development.
