Last August we completed a house move in Lancashire. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Lancashire?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Lancashire. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is 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 Lancashire.
It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Lancashire. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may stored with the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Lancashire relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that could impact a commercial site in Lancashire?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Lancashire will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Lancashire. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Lancashire.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Lancashire it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could result in delays to Lancashire commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Lancashire.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Lancashire is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Lancashire are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lancashire you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lancashire may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
