Should our solicitor be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Shrewton.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Shrewton. There are those who purchase a property in Shrewton, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Shrewton. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the vendor to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading answer. A buyer’s solicitors may also order an enviro search. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.

I got the keys to my home on 3 July and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Shrewton said it will be dealt with in less than a month. Are transfers in Shrewton uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Shrewton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

I have been advised by three or four local selling agents in Shrewton to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your site ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to give any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
