Should my conveyancer be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Timperley.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Timperley. There are those who purchase a house in Timperley, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their lawyers which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Timperley. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out if the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser may commence a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading answer. The buyer’s solicitors will also order an environmental search. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be initiated.
How does conveyancing in Timperley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Timperley come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Timperley tend to acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Timperley or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Timperley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Timperley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Timperley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Timperley 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 property.

Make use of our search tool on this site to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panels. Assuming that they are the lawyer should be able to tie up the two transactions but you should talk with you lawyer and specify your expectations and requirements.
Am in the process of purchasing my 1st property in Timperley. Conveyancing lawyer has been selected. The mortgage adviser suggested that a survey is not needed as the property is just fifteen years old.
You would be best advised to have a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence was constructed over a decade ago the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. They will highlight any obvious issues and suggest additional investigation where relevant. If there are any signs of material issues obtain a comprehensive structural survey.
