My partner and I have just bought a house in Frinton and Walton. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Frinton and Walton?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Frinton and Walton. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information provided is inaccurate, then you may have a claim 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 Frinton and Walton.

The Frinton and Walton conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Frinton and Walton have suddenly closed. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel and my family Frinton and Walton lawyer was not. I sent them a cheque for £250 in advance. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to help.

Am in the process of purchasing my first home in Frinton and Walton. Conveyancing practitioner already selected. The broker suggested that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only built 16 yrs ago.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence is more than ten years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. They will highlight any obvious problems and recommend further investigation where appropriate. If there are any indications of problems seek a full structural survey.
