Should my conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Ramsey.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Ramsey. There are those who acquire a property in Ramsey, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get 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 impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Ramsey. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim resulting from an misleading response. A buyer’s conveyancers may also carry out an environmental report. This will higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.
How does conveyancing in Ramsey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ramsey approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Ramsey typically 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ramsey or who has acted in the same development.
