My partner and I have recently acquired a house in Danescourt. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Danescourt?

Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a questionnaire known as a SPIF. answers is inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Danescourt.

I got the keys to my home on 5 February and my personal details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Danescourt expressed confidence that it will be recorded inside ten days. Are transfers in Danescourt uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Danescourt registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Danescourt I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Danescourt suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

Last September I purchased a leasehold house in Danescourt. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
