Should my lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Northfleet.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Northfleet. Some people will buy a house in Northfleet, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which will figure out the risks in Northfleet. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the owner to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect response. A buyer’s solicitors may also order an environmental report. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be conducted.
I have recentlybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Northfleet for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Northfleet conveyancing specialists.
