Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Barry

My partner and I have just bought a property in Barry. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Barry?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Barry. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information 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 Barry.

I have been pointed in your direction by a number of estate agents in Barry to select a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your services rather than another?

We don’t give any commission for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
