If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may commence a compensation claim resulting from an misleading reply. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also order an environmental search. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be initiated.

Even where you use a solicitor outside Tynemouth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tynemouth 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 premises.
