Last August we completed a house move in Goodwick. We have noticed several problems with the house which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Goodwick?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Goodwick. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers turns out to be misleading, 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 Goodwick.

How does conveyancing in Goodwick differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Goodwick come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Goodwick typically 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Goodwick or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Goodwick I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Goodwick in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
