My partner and I have recently purchased a property in Marshfield. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Marshfield?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Marshfield. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a questionnaire referred to as a SPIF. If the information ends up being inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the seller 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 Marshfield.

Is it the case that all Marshfield solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Clydesdale approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Santander as we want to carry out alterations to our home in Marshfield. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Marshfield solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Santander do not ordinarily require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Santander panel.
