It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Nayland. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by the lender or they could be archived with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Nayland involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
Should my solicitor be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Nayland.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Nayland. Some people will acquire a house in Nayland, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that can be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Nayland. The standard property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the owner to discover if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may commence a compensation claim resulting from an incorrect reply. A purchaser’s conveyancers should also carry out an enviro search. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be made.
