Last March we completed a house move in Rednal. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Rednal?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Rednal. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action 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 Rednal.
Having sold my house in Rednal last January but the buyer keeps telephoning me complaining that his conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Post completion of your disposal your lawyer should deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. If applicable, your conveyancer must also confirm that the mortgage has been discharged to the buyers solicitors. There are no post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Rednal.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Rednal took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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. 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.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Rednal
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives.
