Should my solicitor be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Spital.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Spital. Plenty of people will buy a house in Spital, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Spital. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the vendor to determine whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect answer. The buyer’s solicitors should also carry out an enviro search. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be carried out.

At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Spital where we see a few flat sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Spital conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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 purchaser.
