It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Belmont. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers.

Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Belmont.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Belmont. Some people will buy a house in Belmont, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Belmont. The standard property information forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual question of the owner to find out if the property has historically flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a buyer may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s solicitors should also conduct an environmental report. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be conducted.
