My wife and I have just purchased a property in Crynant. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Crynant?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Crynant. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a questionnaire called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being 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 Crynant.

How does conveyancing in Crynant differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Crynant come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Crynant 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 conveyancers 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 Crynant or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Crynant I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Crynant suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
