Will our lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Wavertree.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Wavertree. There are those who purchase a house in Wavertree, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the purchaser or by their lawyers which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Wavertree. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the owner to determine if the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim resulting from an misleading reply. A buyer’s lawyers will also commission an environmental search. This will higlight if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be carried out.
How does conveyancing in Wavertree differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wavertree approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Wavertree usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Wavertree or who has acted in the same development.

It would be wise to instruct a solicitor now requesting that they open a file on your behalf. This will trigger: 1) the selling agent to send out the Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s conveyancing practitioner to send out the draft agreement. That being said, do not ask your conveyancer to start searches until you have your valuation report via Skipton Building Society and you are willing to proceed.
