Should our conveyancer be making enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Wolverton.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Wolverton. Some people will purchase a property in Wolverton, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Wolverton. The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading reply. The buyer’s lawyers may also carry out an environmental report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be made.

It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Wolverton completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Wolverton 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Wolverton conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A lease governs the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Wolverton do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
