Should our conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Silvertown.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Silvertown. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Silvertown, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Silvertown. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the owner to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could issue a legal claim for losses resulting from an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s conveyancers may also carry out an environmental search. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be conducted.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Silvertown , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Silvertown conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the registration formalities are concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Silvertown registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the property so post completion formalities is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the sale of our £325,000 apartment in Silvertown next Wednesday. The freeholder has quoted £372 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Silvertown?
Silvertown conveyancing on leasehold flats often involves the purchaser’s solicitor sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions the majority will be willing to assist. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the invoice is technically not due. In reality you have no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
