Will our conveyancer be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Frampton Cotterell. There are those who buy a house in Frampton Cotterell, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process 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 buyer or by their conveyancers which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Frampton Cotterell. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the vendor to determine if the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The buyer’s conveyancers will also order an environmental report. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Frampton Cotterell - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.

Corresponding properties in Frampton Cotterell with an extended lease are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 50

With just 50 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £36,100 and £41,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
