Should my conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Uttoxeter.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Uttoxeter. There are those who acquire a house in Uttoxeter, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from 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 premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or by their conveyancers which will figure out the risks in Uttoxeter. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the seller to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect answer. A buyer’s lawyers should also carry out an environmental report. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.
My wife and I own a terraced Georgian property in Uttoxeter. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Uttoxeter and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
