My brother and I have recently bought a property in Hawarden. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Hawarden?

Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a questionnaire called a SPIF. answers proves to be misleading, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Hawarden.

We are selling our apartment in Hawarden. Will the conveyancing practitioner have to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.

It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Hawarden conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors.
