It is rare for properties in Beckton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Beckton but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Will my lawyer be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Beckton.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Beckton. There are those who acquire a house in Beckton, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Beckton. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the vendor to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect answer. The buyer’s conveyancers may also conduct an enviro report. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.

Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property so registration formalities is not typically primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
