昨天收到律师写给对方律师的信，看到提到好多的问题。不知道买flat这些问题都是正常的吗？？还是这个房子真的会很麻烦。有经验的二手flat买家可以帮忙看看吗？感谢
Dear Sirs,
Thank you for your kind reminder. We have finished reading the papers that you have provided thus far and also the search reports (although the local authority search report is awaited). We have the following further enquiries:
-
The environmental report reveals that the property is in an area where there is a significant risk of pluvial flooding. Has such flooding ever occurred in the area and if so, how often has it happened? Has your client ever been informed of an increase in the buildings insurance premium as a result?
-
The report also reveals that the property is in an area where certain properties may be affected by moderate to high risks of natural ground subsidence. Therefore, has your client ever been informed of an increase in the buildings insurance premium as a result?
-
The property falls within 500 metres of the Crossrail 1 route - Did your client or his predecessors receive any notices or other communication in that regard? If so, please provide copies or details;
-
Have you applied for the freeholder’s licence to assign? We look forward to receiving the draft licence to assign.
-
Has your client or his predecessors made any changes to the layout of the property?
-
The managing agent indicates that we should obtain copies of all correspondence and notices in respect of the Section 20 Notice served in connection with the proposed major works. Please therefore provide copies of all communication received and sent in that regard.
-
Referring to the major works again - the managing agent indicates that these will cost over £180,000 but the reserve fund appears to be rather small and certainly would not be sufficient to cover. How much will be attributable to this flat? Please provide any further information that your client should have received more recently.
-
There is likely to be a balancing charge and we therefore ask for a retention of £500 to be held until the accounts for the years 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 have been finalized. Please provide a draft retention provision to be inserted in the contract. We are happy to provide a draft for your approval if you prefer.
-
The managing agent says that there was a leak in November 2016, which affected three flats and drainage problems caused flooding in another flat - Was your client’s flat involved?
-
The replies to management enquiries were completed in Dec 2016 - Please obtain the managing agent’s if any updated information should be added thereto;
-
Please provide us with your undertaking that you will discharge all service charge arrears on completion and provide us with a clear receipt.
-
Please ask the managing agent to provide an up to date insurance schedule as the one previously supplied has now expired.
-
Please confirm that your client will be responsible for all fees in connection with the licence to assign and any deed of covenant that our clients may be required to sign.
