Should our solicitor be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Mold.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Mold. There are those who buy a property in Mold, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

The standard completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the owner to discover if the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim resulting from an incorrect reply.

I have just started marketing my garden flat in Mold. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
