My brother and I have just bought a property in Hampden Pk. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been conducted for conveyancing in Hampden Pk?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Hampden Pk. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor fills in a questionnaire referred to as a SPIF. answers turns out to be misleading, 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 Hampden Pk.
If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Hampden Pk what would it be?
Do not opt for the lowest Hampden Pk conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need.

We were going to get a OIP from Coventry BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Hampden Pk solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Hampden Pk solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.
Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Hampden Pk solicitor - who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Bank of Ireland will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Hampden Pk surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Hampden Pk.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Hampden Pk. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Hampden Pk - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
