Last November we completed a house move in Great Coates. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Great Coates?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Great Coates. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a document known as a SPIF. answers is inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the owner 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 Great Coates.
We're in Great Coates, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is RBS , and our lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I have been recommended by a number of estate agents in Great Coates to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above another?
We refuse to make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My partner and I are first time buyers just having agreed a price on a property in Great Coates, and are about to get solicitors lined up. I have utilised the different rating tools and the results are from all over the the UK. Is it necessary to have a Great Coates conveyancing practitioner local to your potential house? I am happy to do all the communicating electronically, but I am thinking at some point we will be required to physically go into the conveyancer's office to sign documents?
The property lawyer does not have to be in Great Coates, but opting for local means that you have the option to go in if needed, by way of example, if a signature is immediately necessary. Also, a Great Coates solicitor is likely to be familiar with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local conveyancer) with them, which will help smooth the process.
