Last May we completed a house move in Ruddington. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Ruddington?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Ruddington. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a questionnaire called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action against the vendor 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 Ruddington.
Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Ruddington costs more?
The conveyancing fees on a leasehold property in Ruddington is often higher than on a freehold property. This is due to the supplemental investigations required in communicating with the freeholder and managing agents to obtain information about whether the rent and maintenance charges have been discharged and whether there are any major works due in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
I have justbeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Ruddington for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

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.
