My wife and I have lately acquired a property in Barrow Upon Soar. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Barrow Upon Soar?

Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers provided is inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action 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 Barrow Upon Soar.

I'm buying a new build house in Barrow Upon Soar with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
