My partner and I have just purchased a house in Wrexham. We have noticed several problems with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Wrexham?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Wrexham. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is incorrect, you could possibly take legal action 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 Wrexham.

How does conveyancing in Wrexham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wrexham contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Wrexham typically buy the land, 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 Wrexham or who has acted in the same development.
