My brother and I have just purchased a property in Prestatyn. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Prestatyn?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Prestatyn. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller completes a form known as a SPIF. If the information provided is inaccurate, 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 Prestatyn.
My wife and I are intent on selling our property in Prestatyn and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Prestatyn. Having lived in Prestatyn for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I am buying my first flat in Prestatyn benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not inform my lawyer about this extras as it will affect my loan with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

A couple of weeks ago I was advised by my mortgage company that their approved conveyancers work on no sale no fee basis for conveyancing in Prestatyn. My purchase aborted and now the solicitors have requested search fees! They say the fees are seperate!
Prestatyn conveyancing search charges are separate expenses not solicitors costs as these are paid to a third party.
