My brother and I have recently purchased a house in Hatton. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Hatton?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Hatton. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller fills in a questionnaire known as a SPIF. answers turns out to be inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner 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 Hatton.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Hatton. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Hatton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.
