Will my solicitor be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Clifton Village.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Clifton Village. There are those who buy a house in Clifton Village, 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 get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the buyer or by their conveyancers which will figure out the risks in Clifton Village. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the vendor to find out whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading response. A purchaser’s lawyers will also commission an enviro search. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.
