Last October we completed a house move in Roade. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Roade?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Roade. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be misleading, 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 Roade.

I'm the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Roade. The Roade property was put into my name in December. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this clause is principally there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
