Last August we completed a house move in Arley. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been carried out for conveyancing in Arley?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Arley. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a form known as a SPIF. answers turns out to be inaccurate, 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 Arley.
I am purchasing a property and the solicitor has raised the issue of Chancel Repair for which the property may be liable as it falls into the area of such a church. He has mentioned insurance. Is this really required for conveyancing in Arley
Unless a previous purchase of the premises took place after 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners carrying out conveyancing in Arley to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Arley 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and get up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Arley and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Arley. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Arley area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Arley. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
As co-executor for the will of my grandmother I am disposing of a residence in Swansea but live in Arley. My solicitor (based 300 miles awayneeds me to execute a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Arley to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in Arley
Why can't I complete our conveyancing in Arley on a public holiday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the funds needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the purchaser and owner’s lawyer and at present this can only take place on a working day. It is not possible to complete on a saturday or sunday either.
