Should my conveyancer be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Sychdyn.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Sychdyn. There are those who purchase a property in Sychdyn, completely 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 obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Sychdyn. The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the seller to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages resulting from an misleading answer. A purchaser’s conveyancers may also conduct an enviro search. This will disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be carried out.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Sychdyn is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Sychdyn are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sychdyn you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sychdyn may decide 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.
