My wife and I have lately purchased a house in Heaton Moor. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Heaton Moor?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Heaton Moor. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Heaton Moor.
Are the Heaton Moor conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Co-operative?
Heaton Moor conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Co-operative directly.
My partner and I are downsizing from our house in Heaton Moor and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Heaton Moor lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Heaton Moor. We have lived in Heaton Moor for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I am purchasing my first flat in Heaton Moor with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it may jeopardize my loan with Bank of Scotland. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Heaton Moor ahead of retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to issue a loan on this type of house.
