Last April we completed a house move in Theale. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Theale?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Theale. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller fills in a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be incorrect, 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 Theale.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Theale registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I'm buying my first flat in Theale with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent told me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it would impact my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
