Will my lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Tring.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers dealing with homes in Tring. There are those who buy a house in Tring, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Tring. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the seller to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading reply. A purchaser’s lawyers will also order an enviro search. This should reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be made.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Tring , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Tring conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Tring registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any other parties.

Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Tring from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Tring can be reduced if you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your solicitors. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to where the lease term is below 75 years. It is therefore essential at an early stage that you consider whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unresolved. A minority of Tring leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. Many freeholders or Management Companies in Tring levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the fee that they propose to charge. The management information sought on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Tring.
I inherited a split level flat in Tring, conveyancing having been completed in 2003. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension?
