Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wilberfoss

My partner and I have lately bought a property in Wilberfoss. We have noticed several problems with the house which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been ordered for conveyancing in Wilberfoss?

It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Wilberfoss. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information is inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Wilberfoss.

My wife and I own a terraced Edwardian property in Wilberfoss. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Britannia. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wilberfoss and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

How does conveyancing in Wilberfoss differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wilberfoss approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Wilberfoss 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wilberfoss or who has acted in the same development.
