Should my solicitor be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Rawdon.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Rawdon. There are those who buy a house in Rawdon, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Rawdon. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim stemming from an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s solicitors may also carry out an enviro search. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be carried out.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Rawdon registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays.

How does conveyancing in Rawdon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Rawdon contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Rawdon typically acquire the land, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Rawdon or who has acted in the same development.
