Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a questionnaire known as a SPIF. answers provided is misleading, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Bromyard.

What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with UBS going?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Bromyard conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the UBS approved list. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with searches.

How does conveyancing in Bromyard differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bromyard come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Bromyard tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Bromyard or who has acted in the same development.
I was pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Bromyard to choose a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than another?
