Last April we completed a house move in Goffs Oak. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Goffs Oak?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Goffs Oak. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller completes a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers turns out to be inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the seller 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 Goffs Oak.

I have miscalculated my finances and am a few thousand pounds short a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Goffs Oak , but I am keen exchange. What can I do?
You can accept a lesser deposit. Many sellers will agree to a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last second
