My partner and I have just purchased a property in Trafford. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Trafford?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Trafford. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a form called a SPIF. answers turns out to be misleading, 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 Trafford.
Just acquired a terraced house in Trafford , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Trafford conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Trafford is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
