My partner and I have lately acquired a property in Arley. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Arley?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Arley. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a form called a SPIF. answers provided is inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the owner 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 Arley.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Arley I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Arley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Arley?
Arley conveyancing on leasehold flats usually necessitates the buyer’s solicitor submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer these enquiries the majority will be content to assist. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it exceeds £800. The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that you have no option but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to sell the property.
