My wife and I have lately purchased a property in Holly Village. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Holly Village?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Holly Village. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a document known as a SPIF. answers ends up being inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Holly Village.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Holly Village I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Holly Village in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Me and my partner are hoping to buy a four bedroom apartmentin Holly Village with a home loan from a lender. We would like to retain our solicitor in Holly Village but our lender says she’s not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our lender panel solicitors or stay with our Holly Village conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Holly Village lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The bank home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Holly Village : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
