Should our conveyancer be raising questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Meliden.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Meliden. There are those who acquire a house in Meliden, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their solicitors which will figure out the risks in Meliden. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the owner to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading reply. A purchaser’s solicitors will also order an enviro report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be initiated.

I'm buying a new build house in Meliden with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will put at risk my mortgage 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Meliden I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Meliden suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

My husband and I are one month into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the local agent to execute conveyancing in Meliden. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

A lawyer would have to be really bad to suggest changing them. Has the mortgage been issued? If so you must inform them of the replacement conveyancer and ensure the mortgage documents are re-issued. The conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating expenses and delays. So that should be your starting point.
