My partner and I have lately acquired a property in Melbourn. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Melbourn?
The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Melbourn. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. 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 Melbourn.
We are downsizing from our property in Melbourn and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Melbourn conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Melbourn. Having lived in Melbourn for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Melbourn. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
