Last October we completed a house move in Ripley. We have noticed several problems with the property which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Ripley?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Ripley. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be misleading, 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 Ripley.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Ripley. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Ripley - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. 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.
I inherited a 2 bed flat in Ripley, conveyancing formalities finalised May 2010. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent properties in Ripley with an extended lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2088
You have 63 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £16,200 and £18,600 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence.

There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
