Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Faringdon

My wife and I have just acquired a property in Faringdon. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house 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 Faringdon?

The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Faringdon. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a form known as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, then you may have a 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. 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 Faringdon.

How does conveyancing in Faringdon differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Faringdon come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Faringdon typically acquire 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 conveyancers 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 Faringdon or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Faringdon I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Faringdon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I am looking for a conveyancing solicitor in Faringdon for my house move. Is there any facility to check a firm’s record with the legal regulator?
