Will my solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Holyhead.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Holyhead. Some people will acquire a property in Holyhead, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which can figure out the risks in Holyhead. The conventional set of property information forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the owner to discover whether the property has historically flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer could bring a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate answer. A purchaser’s solicitors may also order an enviro report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be made.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Holyhead is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Holyhead are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Holyhead you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Holyhead may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
