My wife and I have lately bought a house in Fairford. We have noticed several problems with the property which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Fairford?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Fairford. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be misleading, you could possibly take legal action against the vendor 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 Fairford.
We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Fairford for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Norwich and Peterborough Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Fairford?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Fairford. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am buying my first flat in Fairford with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it may put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Fairford?
