Last October we completed a house move in Chadwell Heath. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Chadwell Heath?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Chadwell Heath. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers ends up being misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor 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 Chadwell Heath.
Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Chadwell Heath?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Chadwell Heath your solicitor will request that you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Generally this is asked for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a Chadwell Heath based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the bank to explore if they offer you a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Chadwell Heath.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Chadwell Heath I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Chadwell Heath for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
