Will my solicitor be raising enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Southborough.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Southborough. Some people will acquire a property in Southborough, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Southborough. The conventional set of information supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the owner to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading answer. The buyer’s solicitors will also carry out an environmental search. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be initiated.

My wife and I own a terraced Victorian house in Southborough. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Southborough and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Southborough is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Southborough are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Southborough you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Southborough may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
