Last May we completed a house move in Gilberdyke. We have noticed several issues with the property which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been conducted for conveyancing in Gilberdyke?

The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Gilberdyke. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information 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 Gilberdyke.

It’s unusual for properties in Gilberdyke and has limited impact for conveyancing in Gilberdyke but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.
