My partner and I have just purchased a property in Goodrich. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Goodrich?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Goodrich. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a form known as a SPIF. If the information proves to be incorrect, 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 Goodrich.
My Conveyancer in Goodrich has never been on on the Barclays Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Barclays panel?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Goodrich solicitors but Barclays will need to retain a conveyancer on their panel. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees and result in frustration.
- Find a new practitioner to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the Barclays panel

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
