Will my conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Trafford.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Trafford. Some people will purchase a house in Trafford, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their conveyancers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Trafford. The standard information given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the vendor to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s lawyers may also commission an enviro report. This will higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Trafford
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Trafford conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
Do online conveyancing companies do everything a high street Trafford solicitor does or do I still need to employ a solicitor for the final stages for my conveyancing in Trafford?
If you instruct an online conveyancer they will undertake all the work your Trafford conveyancer would cover.
