Last July we completed a house move in Swanland. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Swanland?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Swanland. 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, a seller fills in a form known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information 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 Swanland.
We are looking to buy a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Swanland who is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for TSB . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Swanland.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Swanland I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Swanland in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
