Last June we completed a house move in Molesey. We have noticed several issues with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Molesey?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Molesey. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a document called a SPIF. answers proves to be misleading, you could possibly take legal action 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 Molesey.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Molesey. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Molesey?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Are all Molesey Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of firms.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Coventry BS, do Molesey solicitors incur an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Molesey with a loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Molesey is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Molesey are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Molesey you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 property.
