My brother and I have just acquired a house in Hockley Heath. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Hockley Heath?

It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Hockley Heath. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a form referred to as a SPIF. answers proves to be 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 Hockley Heath.

It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Hockley Heath. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Hockley Heath involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Hockley Heath conveyancing lawyers have been appointed. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Leeds Building Society conducted the survey? Have you informed Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Clydesdale are being pedantic. The Hockley Heath solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Hockley Heath. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Hockley Heath, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Hockley Heath with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2088

With only 64 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £14,300 and £16,400 as well as legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
