Last September we completed a house move in Barton le Willows. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Barton le Willows?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Barton le Willows. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a form called a SPIF. answers provided is misleading, then you may have a 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 Barton le Willows.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Barton le Willows?
Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel solicitors where you accept the "fee-free" deal. Contact the lender and explore if they allow a cash alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Barton le Willows.
