Last August we completed a house move in Hainault. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Hainault?
The question is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Hainault. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers turns out to be inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Hainault.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Hainault. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Hainault?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I'm in the throws of viewing flats in Hainault and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with TSB.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with TSB, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Hainault. My financial adviser suggested a lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £150. A couple of days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say that they were not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Co-operative panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
