My wife and I have just bought a property in Barnt Green. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Barnt Green?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Barnt Green. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Barnt Green.

About to purchase apartment in Barnt Green. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Barnt Green property lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Barnt Green on 27/8/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to HSBC and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Are HSBC entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for HSBC to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Barnt Green is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Barnt Green you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 residence.
