Last February we completed a house move in Ashtead. We have noticed several problems with the property which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Ashtead?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Ashtead. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the seller 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 Ashtead.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Ashtead
There are two types of lawyers who can conduct conveyancing in Ashtead namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. The two can handle the legal services that you need to complete the sale or purchase of property. They are both required to handle Ashtead conveyancing to the same quality and guidelines so you may be sure that your conveyancing will be professionally conducted and that the necessary steps will be correctly attended to.
I am aiming to move house in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Ashtead. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent but this should only happen after the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Ashtead or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Ashtead.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Nationwide, do Ashtead lawyers have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any bank fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Ashtead conveyancing firm to represent me?
