Will my lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Bembridge.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Bembridge. There are those who buy a property in Bembridge, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various 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 Bembridge. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading answer. The purchaser’s solicitors may also carry out an enviro search. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be initiated.

Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Bembridge , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Bembridge conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my purchase is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Bembridge registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property so 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Bembridge with a loan from HSBC Bank. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it would affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Bembridge. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Bembridge - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
