Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sedgefield

My partner and I have recently purchased a house in Sedgefield. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Sedgefield?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Sedgefield. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be misleading, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Sedgefield.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Sedgefield and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Sedgefield. We have lived in Sedgefield for three years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)

I used Action Conveyancing several years ago for my conveyancing in Sedgefield. Now, I need the files but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

Do call the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracking down your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Sedgefield with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The builders refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML 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.
