Last March we completed a house move in Elmstead. We have noticed several issues with the house which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Elmstead?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Elmstead. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a form called a SPIF. If the information ends up being misleading, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Elmstead.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Elmstead? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign should reaffirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Where you are unwilling to hand over identification documents, your lawyer would not be able to act for you.
I have been told that property searches are the main cause of obstruction in Elmstead house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Elmstead.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Elmstead registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
