My wife and I have recently bought a property in Pentre Halkyn. We have noticed several issues with the house which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been carried out for conveyancing in Pentre Halkyn?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Pentre Halkyn. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a form referred to as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Pentre Halkyn.

Pre- 2008 most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Pentre Halkyn conveyancing firms would have been on many mortgage company panels. The financial services regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more information from law firms relating to their operations and their employees and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of conveyancing.

Why do Pentre Halkyn conveyancing charges differ for leasehold and freehold properties?
Inevitably there is increased work involved for leasehold conveyancing. Pentre Halkyn has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including up to date service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
