Last October we completed a house move in Allestree. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Allestree?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Allestree. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be misleading, 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 Allestree.
we are a couple who are purchasing a newbuild apartment in Allestree with a residential mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We would like to retain our Allestree conveyancing lawyer but Platform Home Loans Ltd informed us he's not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Allestree 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
