My wife and I have recently bought a property in Earlestown. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been carried out for conveyancing in Earlestown?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Earlestown. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers turns out to be 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 Earlestown.
Completed the sale of my flat in Earlestown last April yet the purchaser is SMS messaging every few hours complaining that their solicitor is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

My apartment in Earlestown is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will the conveyancer need to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the HSBC 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 requirements fairly frequently currently.
We are due to move home in April. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Earlestown. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent however this can only take place after the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Earlestown or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Earlestown.

My sealed bid on a detached house in Earlestown has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Earlestown. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Aldermore?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Earlestown conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to press on with searches.
