Last May we completed a house move in Cottesmore. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Cottesmore?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Cottesmore. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a questionnaire known as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, then you may have a 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 Cottesmore.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Cottesmore I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Cottesmore in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
