Will our solicitor be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Breaston.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Breaston. Plenty of people will buy a house in Breaston, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not qualified to give 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 should figure out the risks in Breaston. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim resulting from an misleading response. The buyer’s conveyancers may also commission an environmental report. This should higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.

My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Breaston. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Santander. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should 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 Breaston and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

I am hoping to sign contracts shortly on a garden flat in Breaston. Conveyancing lawyers inform me that they will have a report out to me on Monday. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Breaston should include some of the following:

The landlord’s rights to access the property. You should be made aware that your landlord has rights of access as well as be informed how much notice must be provided. What options are available to the landlord where you have contravened the provisions of the lease? What options are open to you if an adjoining owner is in violation of a provision in their lease? Does the lease prevent you from subletting the property, or working from home if lease caters for for a reserve fund for major works?

I am the registered owner of a split level flat in Breaston, conveyancing was carried out 4 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Breaston with over 90 years remaining are worth £181,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2073

There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
