However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property.

Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Yelverton. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the vendor to determine whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may issue a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s lawyers should also order an enviro report. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be made.

I am purchasing a new build house in Yelverton with a loan from Barclays . The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it may affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
