What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Kingsdown?
The question is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Kingsdown. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being incorrect, 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're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their recommended conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Kingsdown
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Kingsdown conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
Why am I unable to complete our conveyancing in Kingsdown on a bank holiday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the money will pass between the banks of the buyer and seller's solicitor and currently this can only take place on a working day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
