My wife and I have just acquired a house in Creekmouth. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Creekmouth?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Creekmouth. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers proves to be 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 Creekmouth.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Creekmouth is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Creekmouth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Creekmouth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
