Should our solicitor be asking questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Yoxall.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Yoxall. There are those who acquire a property in Yoxall, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Yoxall. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the seller to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading answer. A purchaser’s solicitors will also order an enviro report. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be initiated.

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Yoxall. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Yoxall and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

I am buying a new build house in Yoxall with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it would jeopardize my loan with Lloyds TSB Bank. Should I keep quiet?.

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%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Yoxall before appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Yoxall. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

My uncle has encouraged me to appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Yoxall. Should I choose my own solicitor?
