My brother and I have lately purchased a property in Danescourt. We have noticed several issues with the property which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Danescourt?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Danescourt. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a questionnaire called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers provided is inaccurate, 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 Danescourt.
We just had an offer accepted to purchase with Darlington Building Society. We have called around locally but am struggling to find a Danescourt conveyancing firm on the Darlington Building Society approved list. Could you help?
You should make use of the search tool on this site. Pick the mortgage company and type Danescourt or your location and you will be presented with a number of lawyer based in Danescourt or by proximity to you.
My wife and I are buying a flat in Danescourt. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to send our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We previously appointed solicitors with offices in Danescourt on the HSBC solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental fee for dealing with the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by HSBC but by your Danescourt property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the HSBC panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Danescourt. I have a mortgage offer with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Danescourt and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Danescourt conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Danescourt. Having lived in Danescourt for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Danescourt I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Danescourt for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
