Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is incorrect, you could possibly take legal action 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 East Harling.

My sealed bid on a property in East Harling has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in East Harling. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Barclays going?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, East Harling conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to move forward with searches.

Last November I purchased a leasehold flat in East Harling. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
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. However, 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).
