Will our lawyer be raising questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Purley.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Purley. There are those who buy a property in Purley, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property 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.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Purley. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to determine if the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading response. The buyer’s conveyancers should also order an environmental report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be conducted.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Purley is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Purley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Purley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Purley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

What makes a Purley lease unmortgageable?
Leasehold conveyancing in Purley is not unique. All leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the premises
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Santander, Virgin Money, and Barclays Direct all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
