We selected a Poole based firm for our conveyancing in Poole yesterday. After carefully reading the terms of engagement I noteI am liable for charges even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to choose an internet conveyancing company offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Poole?

Will my solicitor be raising enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Poole.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Poole. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Poole, fully aware 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, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Poole. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the owner to discover whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a legal claim for losses stemming from an misleading answer. The buyer’s lawyers should also order an enviro report. This should reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.
