My brother and I have recently acquired a property in Brimsdown. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Brimsdown?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Brimsdown. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being 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 Brimsdown.
I purchased a freehold property in Brimsdown yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Brimsdown and has limited impact for conveyancing in Brimsdown but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Brimsdown but how do I know who's good?
Do not opt for the lowest Brimsdown conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
I am aiming to move house in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Brimsdown. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your page.

Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Brimsdown or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Brimsdown.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Brimsdown. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Brimsdown I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Brimsdown in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
