Will my conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Balby.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Balby. Some people will buy a house in Balby, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Balby. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the owner to discover whether the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses resulting from an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s solicitors may also commission an environmental report. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in Balby. I've land on a web site which appears to be the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via web that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
