My brother and I have lately purchased a house in Long Eaton. We have noticed several problems with the property which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been ordered for conveyancing in Long Eaton?

The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Long Eaton. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers ends up being misleading, you could possibly take legal action 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 Long Eaton.

I am attracted to a two flats in Long Eaton which have in the region of fifty years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?

A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the value of the lease reduces and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
