My wife and I have just bought a house in Llanarth and Oakford. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Llanarth and Oakford?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Llanarth and Oakford. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a document referred to as a SPIF. answers is inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action against the vendor 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 Llanarth and Oakford.

My lawyer has informed me that missing deeds insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Llanarth and Oakford?
The right level of missing deeds indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I currently have a mortgage with HSBC for my property in Llanarth and Oakford. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform HSBC?
You must advise HSBC in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. It may be that HSBC will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact HSBC directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor.
About to purchase maisonette in Llanarth and Oakford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Llanarth and Oakford conveyancer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
My partner and I are downsizing from our house in Llanarth and Oakford and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Llanarth and Oakford. Having lived in Llanarth and Oakford for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 ailment)
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Llanarth and Oakford is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Llanarth and Oakford are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Llanarth and Oakford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Llanarth and Oakford may decide 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 property.
