My partner and I have just bought a house in Newport Pagnell. We have noticed several problems with the property which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse?

It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Newport Pagnell. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Newport Pagnell.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Newport Pagnell. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Newport Pagnell.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Kent Reliance are being a right pain. The Newport Pagnell solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Kent Reliance are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

How does conveyancing in Newport Pagnell differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Newport Pagnell contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Newport Pagnell tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Newport Pagnell or who has acted in the same development.
