My brother and I have lately acquired a property in Borth. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Borth?

Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers proves to be incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation 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.

How does conveyancing in Borth differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Borth contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Borth usually purchase the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 Borth or who has acted in the same development.
