Me and my fiance are purchasing a ground floor flat in Batheaston. My Conveyancer is not on the bank solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to appoint my Batheaston conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender panel?

- Proceed with your preferred Batheaston property lawyer but your mortgage company will no doubt instruct a lawyer on their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional cost together with likely delay.
- Choose a new lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the lender’s panel of solicitors
My wife and I have recently purchased a property in Batheaston. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Batheaston?
The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Batheaston. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers turns out to be misleading, 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 Batheaston.
