Should my lawyer be making enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Crews Hill.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Crews Hill.

However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Crews Hill. The conventional set of information supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the seller to find out if the property has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate response. The buyer’s lawyers may also commission an enviro report. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be carried out.

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Crews Hill from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Crews Hill can be bypassed if you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ representatives.
  • Many landlords or Management Companies in Crews Hill charge for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Crews Hill. A minority of Crews Hill leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Crews Hill state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such changes. Should you fail to have the approvals in place do not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer before hand.

Having spent months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Crews Hill. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to judgment on the price payable.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Crews Hill property is 23 Beaconsfield Road in July 2013. The Tribunals decided that the amount payable was £31,203 for the freehold. This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired lease term was 70.31 years.
