Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cowley

Last December we completed a house move in Cowley. We have noticed several issues with the house which we consider were omitted 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 Cowley?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Cowley. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a form referred to as a SPIF. If the information ends up being misleading, then you may have a 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 Cowley.

I have been told that property searches are the main reason for delay in Cowley house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Cowley.

I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Cowley for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Cowley conveyancing specialists.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Cowley is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Cowley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Cowley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cowley may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Cowley and how can your lawyers assist?

The particular law that you refer to affords a safeguard to business lessees, giving them the a statutory right to apply to court for a new lease and continue in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and assist with commercial conveyancing in Cowley
