Last November we completed a house move in Lostwithiel. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been carried out for conveyancing in Lostwithiel?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Lostwithiel. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller completes a form known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being misleading, then you may have a claim against the vendor 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 Lostwithiel.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Lostwithiel? Why is this being asked of me?
It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Lostwithiel. However these days you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing process if you have not handing over proof of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a bank statement.

Your Lostwithiel conveyancing lawyer will require evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any monies from you into their client account and they will also ask additional queries regarding the origin of funds.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Lostwithiel , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Lostwithiel conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Lostwithiel registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Lostwithiel is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Lostwithiel are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lostwithiel you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lostwithiel may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
