Recently asked questions about conveyancing in South Cave

My wife and I have just purchased a house in South Cave. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in South Cave?

It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in South Cave. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be misleading, 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 South Cave.

I have a semi-detached Victorian house in South Cave. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Nottingham Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Nottingham Building Society to clarify?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in South Cave and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
