Last July we completed a house move in Edenthorpe. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Edenthorpe?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Edenthorpe. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a document known as a SPIF. answers ends up being misleading, 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 Edenthorpe.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a Edenthorpe based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the probability is that give you one of their panel conveyancers should you take up the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the lender to explore if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Edenthorpe.
I have recentlyfound out that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Edenthorpe for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Edenthorpe conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing a new build house in Edenthorpe benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
