Will our solicitor be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Wisbech.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Wisbech. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Wisbech, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the owner to discover whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s lawyers will also order an enviro search. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be conducted.
How does conveyancing in Wisbech differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wisbech come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Wisbech tend to acquire 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wisbech or who has acted in the same development.
