My partner and I have lately bought a property in Cherry Willingham. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Cherry Willingham?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Cherry Willingham. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is inaccurate, 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 Cherry Willingham.
My fiance and I wish to acquire a purpose built flat in Cherry Willingham with a mortgage from Aldermore.We would like to retain our Cherry Willingham conveyancing practitioner but Aldermore informed us her practice is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Aldermore panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Aldermore panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore
