My brother and I have lately purchased a property in Mapperley. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were overlooked 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 Mapperley?
The question is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Mapperley. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a form known as a SPIF. answers proves 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 Mapperley.

I'm buying a new build house in Mapperley with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Mapperley I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Mapperley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
