Will my lawyer be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Queensbury.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Queensbury. Some people will purchase a property in Queensbury, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart 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 will give them a better understanding of the risks in Queensbury. The standard information given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may issue a compensation claim stemming from an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s solicitors should also carry out an enviro search. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be carried out.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Queensbury. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Queensbury - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
