Will my lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Merseyside.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Merseyside. Some people will purchase a house in Merseyside, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Merseyside. The standard information sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the owner to find out whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading response. A purchaser’s lawyers may also commission an enviro report. This should indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.
How does conveyancing in Merseyside differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Merseyside contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Merseyside usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Merseyside or who has acted in the same development.
