Last May we completed a house move in Peak District. We have noticed several problems with the house which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Peak District?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Peak District. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a form called a SPIF. answers proves to be misleading, then you may have a claim against the owner 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 Peak District.
Are the BSA planning on creating a searchable register to list law firms on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for example in Peak District?

I am purchasing a new build house in Peak District with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Peak District and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act gives protection to commercial lessees, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a new lease and remain in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act for protection and help with commercial conveyancing in Peak District
My friend mentioned that when selecting a conveyancing firm they need approved by your mortgage company. I am novice purchaser but I have an offer in principle with Birmingham Midhshires and I already have a local conveyancing solicitor in Peak District at the ready. Will Halifax require an approved lawyer to be selected? Does a directory of approved conveyancers even exist so I can pick a conveyancing solicitor in Peak District?
You need to instruct a solicitor that is on the Halifax panel. Simply call your preferred Peak District conveyancing solicitor and ask if they are on the Halifax panel. If they are not on the panel you have a couple of choices available to you here:
- Complete the purchase with your chosen Peak District conveyancing practitioner but Halifax will undoubtedly use a lawyer from their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional charges together with potential frustration.
- Get a new property lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to pull out all the stops to get accepted on the Halifax panel of solicitors.
