Last November we completed a house move in Craven Arms. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Craven Arms?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Craven Arms. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers ends up being 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 Craven Arms.
Should lawyers request an advanced payment for conveyancing in Craven Arms?
If you are buying a property in Craven Arms your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches.

We are selling our home in Craven Arms. Does the conveyancer need to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
Me and my brother own a terraced Georgian house in Craven Arms. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and HSBC Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should 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 Craven Arms and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
