My brother and I have lately bought a house in Clarborough. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Clarborough?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Clarborough. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a questionnaire called a SPIF. If the information is incorrect, then you may have a 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 Clarborough.
Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Clarborough. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Clarborough and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

The lawyers undertaking our conveyancing in Clarborough has sent documents to review that indicate that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not registred at HMLR?
It is a rare occurrence indeed to find property in Clarborough to be unregistered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Plenty of Clarborough conveyancing lawyers should be familiar with such matters but in the event that uncertainty reigns the prevailing guidance presently is for the current owners to deal with the registration formalities first and subsequently deal with the sale conveyance - this will predictably cause a prolonged home move.
