My wife and I have just bought a house in Poulton Le Fylde. We have noticed several issues with the property which we suspect were omitted 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 Poulton Le Fylde?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Poulton Le Fylde. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a questionnaire referred to as a SPIF. answers is misleading, you could possibly take legal action 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 Poulton Le Fylde.
The Poulton Le Fylde conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my purchase in Poulton Le Fylde have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel and my previous Poulton Le Fylde lawyer was not. I paid them funds on account. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Poulton Le Fylde. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Poulton Le Fylde?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Poulton Le Fylde. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.
My uncle informed me that in purchasing a property in Poulton Le Fylde there may be various restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external alterations to a property. Is this right?

I'm at the point of viewing flats in Poulton Le Fylde and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with TSB.
It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with TSB, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
