Will our solicitor be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Falmouth.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Falmouth. Some people will acquire a property in Falmouth, fully 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, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Falmouth. The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the owner to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading response. The buyer’s lawyers may also order an enviro report. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.

How does conveyancing in Falmouth differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Falmouth contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Falmouth usually purchase the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 Falmouth or who has acted in the same development.

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Falmouth. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

A provision to repair to or maintain parts of the property Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.

You may encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.

Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
