Should our lawyer be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Wolvey.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Wolvey. Some people will purchase a property in Wolvey, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Wolvey. The conventional set of information supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to determine whether the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate reply. A purchaser’s conveyancers may also order an environmental report. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be made.

How does conveyancing in Wolvey differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wolvey approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Wolvey usually buy 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.

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 Wolvey or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Wolvey I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wolvey in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
