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 impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Trefriw. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the seller to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a compensation claim stemming from an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s solicitors will also order an environmental report. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be made.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Trefriw. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I own a 2 bed flat in Trefriw, conveyancing having been completed 5 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Trefriw with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2083

With just 58 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £21,900 and £25,200 as well as costs.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
