Will my solicitor be raising enquiries regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Gilberdyke.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Gilberdyke. Some people will buy a house in Gilberdyke, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Gilberdyke. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the owner to find out if the premises has historically flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages resulting from an misleading response. A purchaser’s conveyancers should also commission an enviro search. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.

Why do Gilberdyke conveyancing charges differ for leasehold and freehold properties?

There is always more work necessary for leasehold conveyancing. Gilberdyke has many leasehold properties. There is more hours involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including current service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
