Last June we completed a house move in St Anns. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been carried out as part of conveyancing in St Anns?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in St Anns. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers turns out to be inaccurate, 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 St Anns.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in St Anns registration formalities.

Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
