Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Flint

Last January we completed a house move in Flint. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Flint?

The question is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Flint. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers provided is inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Flint.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Flint and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Flint. We have lived in Flint for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

Flint Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Queries before buying

    Is anyone aware of any major works on the horizon that could add a premium to the maintenance costs? Many Flint leasehold properties will be liable to pay a service bill for maintenance of the building set by the landlord. Should you purchase the apartment you will have to meet this amount, normally quarterly accross the year. This can differ from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large communal areas. In all probability there will be a ground rent to be met yearly, this is usually not a large sum, say about £50-£100 but you need to check as occasionally it could be surprisingly expensive. For most Flint leaseholds the cost for major works tend not to be included within maintenance charges, albeit that some managing agents in Flint obliged leasehold owners to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against major repairs or maintenance.

We are in the process of buying a property in Flint. Can our lawyer keep the amount we are are purchasing for a secret from the likes of Rightmove. How could this be done?

HMLR as a matter of law required to note price sold information on a register of the title for residential properties nationwide which includes properties in Flint. The Title Register is a public document, so HM Land Registry would be breaching their statutory obligations if they failed to grant access to the register.

In essence you can ask HM Land Registry to hide the price paid data yet the response will be in the negative.
