Will my lawyer be asking questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Fradley.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Fradley. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Fradley, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be initiated by the buyer or by their solicitors which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Fradley. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the seller to discover if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect response. A buyer’s lawyers may also conduct an environmental report. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be made.

How does conveyancing in Fradley differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Fradley come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Fradley usually buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Fradley or who has acted in the same development.
