I'm in the process of switching my current homeowner loan to a BTL Yorkshire Building Society mortgage. I was told by my financial advisor that I need a solicitor as part of the process. I had a chat my former Llanfechain conveyancing solicitor who who completed the conveyancing when I initially purchased the house. The costs illustration provided of £450 plus VAT is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

Last December we completed a house move in Llanfechain. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Llanfechain?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Llanfechain. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a questionnaire known as a SPIF. If the information 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 Llanfechain.

The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
