Last December we completed a house move in Isle Of Wight. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Isle Of Wight?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Isle Of Wight. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller completes a form called a SPIF. answers provided is 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 Isle Of Wight.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Isle Of Wight off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with UBS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.
My sealed bid on a semi in Isle Of Wight has been accepted, the owners do however have a dependent purchase. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Isle Of Wight. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Aldermore?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Isle Of Wight conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore approved list. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many purchasers will apply for a home loan with Aldermore and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Isle Of Wight.
