My partner and I have recently bought a property in Mosborough. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Mosborough?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Mosborough. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is misleading, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Mosborough.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel solicitor as I would prefer to use a local conveyancing solicitor in Mosborough?
Do check but the the probability is that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers should you take up the "fee-free" offer. Call the mortgage company and explore if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Mosborough.
Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Mosborough. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Mosborough and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

We are FTB’s just having agreed a price on a property in Mosborough, and need to get solicitors instructed. I have made use of the numerous rating tools and the quotes are from all over the country. Is it advisable to have a Mosborough conveyancing practitioner local to your prospective new home? I am happy to do everything electronically, but I assume at some point we may need to physically go into the conveyancer's office to sign contracts?
The solicitor does not need to be in Mosborough, but opting for local means that you can attend their offices if needed, for instance, if a signature is needed urgently. Furthermore, a Mosborough solicitor is likely to be familiar with local agents and (if the vendor has chosen a local conveyancing practitioner) with them, which should help smooth the process.
