My brother and I have lately acquired a property in Hungerford. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been ordered for conveyancing in Hungerford?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Hungerford. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a questionnaire referred to as a SPIF. answers ends up being incorrect, then you may have a 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 Hungerford.

I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Hungerford and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

I’m about to sell my garden flat in Hungerford.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon however I have just received a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you pay the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and service invoices should be allottedon completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
