Last August we completed a house move in Cherry Burton. 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? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Cherry Burton?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Cherry Burton. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be misleading, you could possibly take legal action 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 Cherry Burton.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Cherry Burton. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the invoice as you normally would given that all ground rent and service payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
