Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Grimsby

My wife and I have lately purchased a property in Grimsby. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Grimsby?

The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Grimsby. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information provided is misleading, you could possibly take legal action against the seller 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 Grimsby.

I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Grimsby. I need to find out whether they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

Is this applicable for conveyancing in Grimsby?

I purchased a renovated Edwardian property in Grimsby. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Grimsby and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Grimsby?

Conveyancing - in Grimsby or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re purchasing and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the buying price down or asking the seller to fix the problems before you complete your move.
