Will our lawyer be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Tickton.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Tickton. Some people will buy a house in Tickton, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their lawyers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Tickton. The standard information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also carry out an environmental report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be carried out.
How does conveyancing in Tickton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Tickton come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Tickton tend to purchase 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 Tickton or who has acted in the same development.
