My partner and I have recently bought a house in Solva. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Solva?

It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Solva. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor fills in a form referred to as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Solva.

My wife and I may need to rent out our Solva ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Solva conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

Even though your last Solva conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to seek permission via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. The consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
