My wife and I have recently bought a house in Wolvey. We have noticed several problems with the property which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Wolvey?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Wolvey. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be incorrect, you could possibly take legal action against the owner 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 Wolvey.

How does conveyancing in Wolvey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Wolvey contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because house builders in Wolvey typically acquire 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wolvey or who has acted in the same development.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Wolvey with the aim of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Wolvey can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ lawyers. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy process and delays many a Wolvey home move. If a new share certificate is needed, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this as soon as possible. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check via your lawyers. A purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the lease term is less than 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an early stage that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. If you have carried out any alterations to the premises would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Wolvey state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such works. Where you fail to have the consents in place you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your lawyer first.
