Will my solicitor be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Farnborough.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Farnborough. Some people will buy a property in Farnborough, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Farnborough. The standard property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the seller to discover if the premises has historically flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect response. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also commission an environmental search. This will disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be initiated.

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to find the lessor.

It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on investigating the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Farnborough.
