My brother and I have recently acquired a property in Woodstock. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Woodstock?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Woodstock. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a questionnaire known as a SPIF. If the information provided 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 Woodstock.

Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the category or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner.

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Woodstock completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
