Last November we completed a house move in Silverton. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches.

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.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Silverton. The Silverton property was put into my name in February.

Given that your lender is Principality your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Principality where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Silverton.
