My partner and I have lately purchased a property in Lyddington. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Lyddington?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Lyddington. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, 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. 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 Lyddington.
It is is a decade since I bought my property in Lyddington. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't find my title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they could be archived with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Lyddington involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
