Should my solicitor be raising questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Uckfield.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Uckfield. There are those who acquire a house in Uckfield, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Uckfield. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the owner to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect answer. A buyer’s conveyancers will also conduct an enviro report. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Uckfield ground floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Uckfield conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

Some leases for properties in Uckfield do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

Being a leasehold owner you will be in the clutches of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day issues like the upkeep of the common parts. Enquire of prospective neighbours whether they are happy with their service. In conclusion, find out the dates that the service charges are due to the managing agents and specifically what it includes. What restrictions are there in the Uckfield Lease?
