My partner and I have lately acquired a house in Blaydon On Tyne. We have noticed several issues with the property which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Blaydon On Tyne?
The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Blaydon On Tyne. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a document referred to as a SPIF. answers ends up being misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Blaydon On Tyne.
I'm the only recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Blaydon On Tyne. The Blaydon On Tyne property was put into my name in April. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation primarily exists to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
Is it correct that all Blaydon On Tyne CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Principality conveyancing panel?
It is true that some banks and building societies now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their panels.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Blaydon On Tyne. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

I work for a long established estate agency in Blaydon On Tyne where we see a number of leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Blaydon On Tyne conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
