Last May we completed a house move in Waddington. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been ordered for conveyancing in Waddington?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Waddington. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller completes a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be misleading, then you may have a 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 Waddington.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Waddington I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Waddington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
