Last September we completed a house move in Grangetown. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Grangetown?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Grangetown. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a document called a SPIF. If the information ends up being incorrect, then you may have a claim against the vendor 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 Grangetown.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Grangetown is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Grangetown are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Grangetown you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Grangetown 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 property.
