Last April we completed a house move in Edwinstowe. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Edwinstowe?

The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Edwinstowe. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a form known as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, 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.

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Edwinstowe involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I want to sell and I am nervous that this could hold me back if I have to discharge the amount due in advance. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?

Do check with the solicitor undertaking your Edwinstowe conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the arrears to be passed to the buyers. The purchase price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then discharge the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
