The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Wellington. Some people will buy a property in Wellington, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded.

The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the owner to discover if the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate reply.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Wellington. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as normal because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

    This question is helpful as a) areas may result in problems in the building as the common areas may start to deteriorate where maintenance remain unpaid b) if the leaseholders have a dispute with the managing agents you will need to know about it Does the lease include onerous restrictions? You should be aware that where the lease has less than 80 years it will affect the value of the flat. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and it is worth discovering what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have been the owner of the property for 24 months in order to be eligible to carry out a lease extension.
