Should our lawyer be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Wendover.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Wendover. There are those who buy a house in Wendover, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will figure out the risks in Wendover. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the seller to determine whether the property has ever been flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers may also carry out an enviro report. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Wendover took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Wendover differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Wendover come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Wendover typically purchase the site, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wendover or who has acted in the same development.
