My brother and I have lately acquired a property in Feltham. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Feltham?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Feltham. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems.

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.

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Feltham and elsewhere in West London is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, estate agent and on occasion the lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Feltham is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I moved into my house on 4 April and the transaction details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Feltham advises it should be concluded in less than a month. Are titles in Feltham uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Feltham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
