My wife and I have just purchased a house in Deganwy. We have noticed several problems with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Deganwy?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Deganwy. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes 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 Deganwy.
Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Deganwy. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Having exchanged you must retain a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you now have a tight a drop dead date to complete the transaction. An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction set of papers. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal pack may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property. You need to give this to the conveyancer instructed by you as soon as possible. Do make sure that your finances are in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Can you help - my lawyer advises that missing deeds insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Deganwy conveyancing?
The appropriate level of missing deeds indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

I purchased a terraced Edwardian house in Deganwy. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Aldermore. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Deganwy and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

My work colleague mentioned that before choosing a conveyancing firm they need approved by your lender. This is my first house move but I have an AIP via Virgin Money and I already have a family conveyancing lawyer in Deganwy lined up. Will Virgin Money insist on an approved solicitor to be selected?

- Convince your solicitor to apply to join the mortgage company panel.
