Last October we completed a house move in Kidsgrove. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Kidsgrove?
The question is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Kidsgrove. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers provided is misleading, 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 Kidsgrove.
My relative advised me that where I am buying in Kidsgrove I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
This is a search is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Kidsgrove conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out significant information about Kidsgrove around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Kidsgrove Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Kidsgrove Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Kidsgrove.
I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Kidsgrove for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Kidsgrove conveyancing specialists.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Kidsgrove I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Kidsgrove suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the property agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Kidsgrove
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Kidsgrove conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
