Should my lawyer be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Shenley Brook End.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Shenley Brook End. Some people will acquire a house in Shenley Brook End, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Shenley Brook End. The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading answer. The buyer’s conveyancers should also conduct an environmental search. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be initiated.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Shenley Brook End with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it will impact my loan with Alliance & Leicester . Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
