Last December we completed a house move in Sutton. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been conducted for conveyancing in Sutton?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Sutton. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller fills in a form known as a SPIF. answers proves to be misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Sutton.

How does conveyancing in Sutton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Sutton come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Sutton usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Sutton or who has acted in the same development.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Sutton. I happened to stumble upon a web site which seems to have the ideal offering If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via web that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Developers have recommended to me a solicitor and I've obtained an estimate from them. It's nearly £250 less expensive than my family Sutton lawyer. What's the catch?
Developers often have panels of conveyancing practitioners who expedite matters and who know the developer’s contract and conveyancing practitioner. As many developers offer an incentive to choose their approved conveyancer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they demand an exchange in 28 days. The argument for not opting for the suggested conveyancer is that they may prove hesitant to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your local Sutton conveyancer.
