Last October we completed a house move in Brymbo. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Brymbo?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Brymbo. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Brymbo.

Me and my partner have recently had an offer accepted on a property and had meeting on Wednesday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to choosing a lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of solicitors then we will be subject to an an extra fee of £250+. This is because they would then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we appoint on our behalf and we are liable for their fees. I have asked the Post Office to supply me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You should ask the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for the Post Office historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with the Post Office.
