Should our solicitor be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Wingate.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Wingate. Plenty of people will buy a property in Wingate, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Wingate. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the owner to discover whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim stemming from an misleading answer. The purchaser’s lawyers will also conduct an environmental report. This should reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be made.

I am attracted to a couple of apartments in Wingate both have in the region of forty five years remaining on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are plenty of short leases in Wingate. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease reduces and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
