Should my solicitor be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Wembley Central.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Wembley Central. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Wembley Central, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Wembley Central. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the owner to discover whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer could issue a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading answer. A buyer’s lawyers may also conduct an enviro report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be carried out.
