Last March we completed a house move in Biddulph. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Biddulph?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Biddulph. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a form known as a SPIF. answers provided is misleading, then you may have a claim 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 Biddulph.

Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, find your house and obtain up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.

What are the frequently found problems that you witness in leases for Biddulph properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Biddulph. All leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain sections are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Insurance obligations Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the premises
A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Halifax, Coventry Building Society, and Britannia all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.

You have 66 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £12,400 and £14,200 plus legals.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.
