Last January we completed a house move in Blandford Forum. We have noticed several issues with the house which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Blandford Forum?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Blandford Forum. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a document referred to as a SPIF. answers 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 Blandford Forum.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Blandford Forum. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £225. A couple of days later, the lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Intending to buy a apartment in Blandford Forum. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance 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 Blandford Forum conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Blandford Forum concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Blandford Forum I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Blandford Forum for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
