Will our conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Wadebridge.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Wadebridge. Some people will acquire a property in Wadebridge, completely aware 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 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 buyer.

Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Wadebridge. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses resulting from an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s solicitors will also commission an enviro report. This will indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be carried out.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Wadebridge with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it could adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

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 £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Wadebridge I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wadebridge suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
