Will our lawyer be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Park Royal.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Park Royal. Some people will acquire a house in Park Royal, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Park Royal. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the seller to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect answer. A buyer’s conveyancers should also conduct an enviro report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be made.
I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Park Royal before instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks may not issue a loan on a flying freehold property.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agent office in Park Royal where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Park Royal conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
We have reached the end of our tether in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Park Royal. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
