Will our lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Urmston.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Urmston. Some people will buy a property in Urmston, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Urmston. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the owner to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading reply. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also commission an environmental report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be initiated.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Urmston is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Urmston are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Urmston you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Urmston may decide 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 residence.
