Should my conveyancer be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Shooter's Hill.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Shooter's Hill. There are those who buy a property in Shooter's Hill, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Shooter's Hill. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the seller to discover whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses resulting from an inaccurate answer. The buyer’s solicitors will also conduct an enviro report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Shooter's Hill with a mortgage from Aldermore. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Shooter's Hill where we see a few leasehold sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Shooter's Hill conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can one apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Shooter's Hill conveyancing firm to help?
Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Shooter's Hill conveyancing firm who can help.
