Last August we completed a house move in Meir. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Meir?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Meir. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes a document called a SPIF. If the information proves to be misleading, then you may have a claim against the seller 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 Meir.

How does conveyancing in Meir differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Meir approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because new home sellers in Meir typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Meir or who has acted in the same development.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Meir ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to issue a loan on this type of premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can check with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Meir.
