Last July we completed a house move in Conwy. We have noticed several issues with the property which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Conwy?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Conwy. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be misleading, then you may have a claim against the owner 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 Conwy.
It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Conwy. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they may still be with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Conwy relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
I have justbecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Conwy for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Conwy conveyancing specialists.
