My brother and I have lately bought a property in North Acton. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been carried out for conveyancing in North Acton?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in North Acton. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers proves to be 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 North Acton.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in North Acton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I want to move. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Some banks would take a pragmatic view as this obligation principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
Can you point me to a directory of UBS panel conveyancers in North Acton on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings available online. Where you are in need of a North Acton conveyancer on the UBS please make the most of our tool.
My sealed bid on a house in North Acton has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in North Acton. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Lloyds?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, North Acton conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Lloyds approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in North Acton.
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one cause of stalling in North Acton house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in North Acton.
How do I use the search app to locate a conveyancing practitioner in North Acton on the approved list for my bank?

My mother and father are encountering difficulties in finding their North Acton property on the HM Land Registry online search facility. They have a vague memory back in the 60’s when they bought the property there were complications concerning the address not being recognised in some systems.
Nearly all premises in North Acton should appear. Have you tried a search to just the postcode. Usually it will reveal all the residences inside that postcode. Where recorded it will show up with a title number. Where they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The property could still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title deeds which may be with your parent’s lender.
