Last July we completed a house move in Oakley. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Oakley?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Oakley. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller fills in a form referred to as a SPIF. If the information proves to be misleading, then you may have a 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 Oakley.

About to purchase house in Oakley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Oakley property lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Oakley I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Oakley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
