Should my lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Redruth.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Redruth. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Redruth, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Redruth. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to determine whether the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a claim for damages resulting from an misleading response. The purchaser’s lawyers may also commission an enviro report. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Redruth. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
