My brother and I have recently acquired a property in Prestatyn. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Prestatyn?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Prestatyn. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a document known as a SPIF. If the information is misleading, you could possibly take legal action against the seller 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 Prestatyn.

I'm the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Prestatyn. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?

The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
