Is the fact that my conveyancer in Chadwell Heath is not identified on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Chadwell Heath conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
Last July we completed a house move in Chadwell Heath. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been conducted for conveyancing in Chadwell Heath?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Chadwell Heath. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a document called a SPIF. If the information provided is incorrect, then you may have a 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 Chadwell Heath.
