My partner and I have lately bought a house in Spennymoor. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Spennymoor?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Spennymoor. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a document referred to as a SPIF. answers provided is incorrect, you could possibly take legal action against the vendor 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 Spennymoor.

How does conveyancing in Spennymoor differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Spennymoor come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Spennymoor usually buy 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 conveyancers 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 Spennymoor or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Spennymoor is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Spennymoor are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Spennymoor you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Spennymoor may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
