I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (five years built) in Strood. The vast majority the appartments are already disposed of. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Strood?
A big part of the Strood legal transfer of property is the conveyancing searches. There are a large number of companies conducting Strood conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are generally termed personal search companies and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must obtain their information from the local authority.
Will our solicitor be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Strood.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Strood. Some people will buy a house in Strood, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Strood. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate reply. A purchaser’s lawyers should also order an enviro search. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be carried out.

I have been pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Strood to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your site rather than another?
We don’t make any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
