My partner and I have just acquired a house in Long Ashton. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Long Ashton?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Long Ashton. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a questionnaire called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information provided is incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Long Ashton.
At what point does exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Long Ashton and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Long Ashton you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Long Ashton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Long Ashton I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Long Ashton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
