Last April we completed a house move in Romford. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Romford?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Romford. 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 completes a form known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers proves to be misleading, 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 Romford.
My fiance and I are purchasing a newbuild flat in Romford with a homeloan from Clydesdale.We have a Romford conveyancing practitioner but Clydesdale advised that she’s not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Clydesdale panel firm or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Clydesdale panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Clydesdale use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that conveyancers must be on the Clydesdale approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Romford I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Romford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
