I am expecting a AIP from Nottingham this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

Should our solicitor be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Shirenewton.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Shirenewton. Some people will buy a property in Shirenewton, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the seller to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer could issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s lawyers will also carry out an enviro search. This will indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.
