Should my lawyer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Beacontree Heath.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Beacontree Heath. Some people will acquire a house in Beacontree Heath, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if 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 as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the buyer or by their solicitors which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Beacontree Heath. The standard property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine if the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could issue a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate response. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also commission an environmental report. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.
I bought my apartment on 10 June and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Beacontree Heath expressed confidence that it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Beacontree Heath particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Beacontree Heath registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Beacontree Heath differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Beacontree Heath come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Beacontree Heath tend to 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Beacontree Heath or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Beacontree Heath is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Beacontree Heath are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Beacontree Heath you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Beacontree Heath may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
