Last February we completed a house move in Wraysbury. We have noticed several problems with the house which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Wraysbury?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Wraysbury. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a questionnaire called a SPIF. answers is inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action 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 Wraysbury.

We previously selected conveyancers based in Wraysbury on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further amount for the legal aspects of the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor may levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Leeds Building Society but by your Wraysbury conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Planning on purchasing a house in Wraysbury.

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Wraysbury lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
