It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Llangammarch Wells. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a questionnaire called a SPIF. answers turns out 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 Llangammarch Wells.

My partner and I are in the throws of looking at apartments in Llangammarch Wells and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a home loan with Barclays.
It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Barclays, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Llangammarch Wells I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Llangammarch Wells in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
