Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Frodsham

Last January we completed a house move in Frodsham. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Frodsham?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Frodsham. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a document called a SPIF. If the information provided is inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action 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 Frodsham.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for stalling in Frodsham conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Frodsham. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Frodsham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
