Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Edwinstowe.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Edwinstowe. There are those who purchase a property in Edwinstowe, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will figure out the risks in Edwinstowe. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to discover whether the premises has historically flooded.

The buyer’s solicitors may also carry out an environmental search. This will disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be carried out.

How does conveyancing in Edwinstowe differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Edwinstowe come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Edwinstowe typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Edwinstowe or who has acted in the same development.
