Last December we completed a house move in Barton Le Clay. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Barton Le Clay?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Barton Le Clay. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information is misleading, 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 Barton Le Clay.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Seventy years unexpired on my flat in Barton Le Clay. I am keen to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have used your best endeavours to track down the freeholder. In some cases a specialist should be helpful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document to be used as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Barton Le Clay.
