My brother and I have just acquired a house in Rise Park. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Rise Park?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Rise Park. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being incorrect, then you may have a 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 Rise Park.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Rise Park I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rise Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
