Will our lawyer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Bebington.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Bebington. There are those who purchase a property in Bebington, 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, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Bebington. The standard information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the seller to discover if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect answer. The buyer’s conveyancers may also conduct an environmental search. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be initiated.
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Bebington took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
