My wife and I have recently purchased a property in Newport Pagnell. We have noticed several problems with the house which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been ordered for conveyancing in Newport Pagnell?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Newport Pagnell. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a questionnaire called a SPIF. If the information provided is incorrect, 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 Newport Pagnell.

I have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Newport Pagnell. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?
You must advise Virgin Money in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. You need not do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel firm.

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Newport Pagnell - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.

For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
