My brother and I have lately acquired a house in Barnoldswick. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Barnoldswick?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Barnoldswick. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a document called a SPIF. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, 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 Barnoldswick.
At what point will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Barnoldswick and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Barnoldswick you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Barnoldswick)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Do I have to pop into the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Barnoldswick so that I can pop in to their offices if required.
