Will my lawyer be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Hoxton.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Hoxton. There are those who buy a property in Hoxton, fully expectant 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 get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Hoxton. The standard information given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard question of the seller to discover whether the premises has ever been flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages resulting from an misleading response. A buyer’s lawyers will also conduct an enviro search. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be made.
