Should our solicitor be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Suffolk.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Suffolk. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Suffolk, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Suffolk. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the vendor to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser may bring a legal claim for losses stemming from an incorrect response. The buyer’s solicitors should also conduct an enviro report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.

I am buying a new build house in Suffolk with a loan from Aldermore. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
