Should my conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Trafford.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Trafford. Plenty of people will buy a property in Trafford, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Trafford. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s conveyancers will also conduct an enviro report. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be conducted.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Trafford. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Trafford is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Trafford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Trafford 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 Trafford may determine 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.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Trafford
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Trafford conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
