My wife and I have lately acquired a property in Bromborough. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Bromborough?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Bromborough. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a form called a SPIF. answers turns out to be incorrect, 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 Bromborough.
I have been told that property searches are the main cause of obstruction in Bromborough house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Bromborough.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Bromborough basement flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Bromborough conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Your lease governs relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Bromborough do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the sublease.
