Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in St Mawes. There are those who buy a property in St Mawes, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. 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 may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in St Mawes. The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out if the property has suffered from flooding.

A buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an enviro report. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be conducted.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’.

It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred St Mawes conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
