Last January we completed a house move in Maze Hill. We have noticed several problems with the house which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Maze Hill?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Maze Hill. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a form known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information is incorrect, 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 Maze Hill.
I got the keys to my apartment on 16 March and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Maze Hill expressed confidence that it would be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Maze Hill uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Maze Hill registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Maze Hill I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease.

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
