Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in Richmond upon Thames
Thames flood risk
Riverside homes in Barnes, Kew, Twickenham and Teddington can sit in flood zones. We review the flood search and highlight anything that could affect insurance, your mortgage or future plans.
Conservation areas and listed buildings
A large part of the borough is in conservation areas, and many older houses are listed. We check that extensions and alterations had the right consents and explain the limits on future changes.
Flats in converted houses
Flats in converted villas can have patchy leases on repairs and insurance. We check the lease length, service charge arrangements and whether there is a share of the freehold.

Questions
Moving in Richmond upon Thames
Yes. We handle everything by phone, email and online. Local searches for a home in Kew or Teddington are ordered from Richmond Council and other providers in the same way wherever the conveyancer is based. We keep in touch with local agents and the other side’s solicitors to keep things moving.
Start with the flood risk. We review the environmental and flood searches, ask the seller about any past flooding and insurance claims, and check the property’s insurance position. We also look at any riverside rights or obligations, such as maintaining a river wall. Then we explain what it means for your mortgage and insurance.
