Some extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions.

Should our solicitor be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Rothwell.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Rothwell. Plenty of people will buy a property in Rothwell, completely aware 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 obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Rothwell. The standard property information forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the seller to find out whether the property has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect reply. The purchaser’s lawyers may also order an environmental search. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.
