I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years built) in Waltham Cross. The vast majority the appartments have already been disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Waltham Cross?

If you getting a loan, your mortgage company will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Waltham Cross conveyancing searches are optional.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Waltham Cross. Plenty of people will acquire a property in Waltham Cross, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell 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, however there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Waltham Cross. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to determine if the property has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a legal claim for losses stemming from an inaccurate reply. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also carry out an environmental report. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.
