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 Hightown.

How does conveyancing in Hightown differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hightown come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Hightown typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hightown or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Hightown I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hightown in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
