Last November we completed a house move in Bodfari. We have noticed several problems with the property which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been conducted for conveyancing in Bodfari?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Bodfari. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be incorrect, then you may have a claim 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 Bodfari.
We are aiming to move property in March. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Bodfari. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the estate agent however this should only take place after the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. After that you can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Bodfari or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Bodfari.
My partner and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we want to conduct renovations to our house in Bodfari. Are we obliged to appoint a local Bodfari solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Virgin Money would not normally require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
HSBC have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Bodfari has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will want to be advised as to your conveyancing practitioner's details (be sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone HSBC or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant forms. HSBC will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to get a mortgage offer. HSBC will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Bodfari.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Bodfari in advance of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not issue a loan on a flying freehold house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can look into this further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Bodfari. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
