My partner and I have recently acquired a property in Garndolbenmaen. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been carried out for conveyancing in Garndolbenmaen?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Garndolbenmaen. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be incorrect, you could possibly take legal action 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 Garndolbenmaen.
How does conveyancing in Garndolbenmaen differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Garndolbenmaen contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Garndolbenmaen usually buy the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Garndolbenmaen or who has acted in the same development.
