Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Tickhill.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Tickhill. There are those who purchase a property in Tickhill, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Tickhill. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the seller to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. If the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect answer. A purchaser’s lawyers may also commission an environmental search. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be initiated.
How does conveyancing in Tickhill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tickhill contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Tickhill tend to purchase the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Tickhill or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Tickhill I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Tickhill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Tickhill - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
