Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Milnrow

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Milnrow. Is there a reason why all Milnrow property lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?

Before the recession most banks exhibited an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the solicitors on your panel. As a result, banks have subsequently looked to extract more information from law firms regarding their processes and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Hundreds of firms have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible meet the minimum volume of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.

My partner and I have recently bought a house in Milnrow. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been carried out for conveyancing in Milnrow?

The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Milnrow. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes a questionnaire called a SPIF. If the information proves to be inaccurate, 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 Milnrow.
