Last December we completed a house move in Fairlop. We have noticed several issues with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Fairlop?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Fairlop. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes a questionnaire referred to as a SPIF. If the information is 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 Fairlop.

I moved into my flat on 16 June and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Fairlop said it would be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Fairlop uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Fairlop is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any third parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
