Last May we completed a house move in Castleton. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Castleton?

The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Castleton. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a questionnaire referred to as a SPIF. If the information provided is incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Castleton.

I purchased a freehold residence in Castleton but nevertheless pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Castleton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Castleton but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.

The deeds to my house can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Castleton 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Given that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a house in Castleton I wish to talk to a lawyer regarding theconveyancing ahead of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
