Should our lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Tamworth.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Tamworth. Some people will purchase a property in Tamworth, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Tamworth. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the owner to find out whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages stemming from an misleading response. A purchaser’s solicitors may also conduct an enviro report. This should higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.
How does conveyancing in Tamworth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Tamworth come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Tamworth tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Tamworth or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Tamworth is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Tamworth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Tamworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tamworth 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.
