Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Winscombe. There are those who acquire a house in Winscombe, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Winscombe. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the owner to discover if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect reply. The buyer’s solicitors should also commission an environmental search. This should reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be conducted.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Winscombe I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Winscombe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
