Should our solicitor be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Chelmsford.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Chelmsford. There are those who purchase a property in Chelmsford, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property.

Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the buyer or by their lawyers which can figure out the risks in Chelmsford. The standard information supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the seller to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s solicitors may also commission an environmental report. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.

I can't really find anything else in Chelmsford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
