Will our conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Stalybridge.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Stalybridge. There are those who buy a house in Stalybridge, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the buyer or by their lawyers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Stalybridge. The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to determine whether the premises has ever been flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading answer. A buyer’s solicitors will also carry out an enviro search. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.

I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Stalybridge which have approximately fifty years unexpired on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?

There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Stalybridge is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. The nearer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the salability of the premises. For most buyers and lenders, leases with under eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Stalybridge conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
