Should our solicitor be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Blaenau Gwent.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Blaenau Gwent. Some people will acquire a property in Blaenau Gwent, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be initiated by the buyer or by their solicitors which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Blaenau Gwent. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the owner to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could commence a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s lawyers may also commission an enviro report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
