Last February we completed a house move in Dinas Powys. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Dinas Powys?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Dinas Powys. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a questionnaire called a SPIF. answers proves to be incorrect, then you may have a claim against the owner 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 Dinas Powys.

We are planning to move house in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Dinas Powys. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your selling agent but this should only be done once the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Dinas Powys or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Dinas Powys.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Dinas Powys conveyancing practitioner on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Principality mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have instructed a Dinas Powys lawyer having made sure that they are on the Santander conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Santander will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Santander will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Dinas Powys postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Dinas Powys.
