My partner and I have just bought a house in East Bergholt. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in East Bergholt?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in East Bergholt. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a questionnaire known as a SPIF. If the information proves to be incorrect, 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 East Bergholt.

How does conveyancing in East Bergholt differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in East Bergholt approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in East Bergholt usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in East Bergholt or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we use their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in East Bergholt
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted East Bergholt conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
