Will our conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Desford.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Desford. Some people will acquire a property in Desford, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Desford. The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the vendor to determine if the property has historically flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s lawyers may also carry out an environmental report. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be carried out.

I have recentlybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Desford for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Desford conveyancing specialists.

I have been advised by a number of estate agents in Desford to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your services rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to give any referral fee for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
