My partner and I have lately acquired a property in Brimsdown. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been carried out for conveyancing in Brimsdown?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Brimsdown. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be misleading, you could possibly take legal action against the seller 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 Brimsdown.

I'm the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Brimsdown. The Brimsdown property was put into my name in April. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in April. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. Some banks would take a sensible view as this requirement is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
