Last January we completed a house move in Aughton. We have noticed several issues with the house which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Aughton?

The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Aughton. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information provided is misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Aughton.

I purchased a freehold house in Aughton but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Aughton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Aughton but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.

I'm buying a new build house in Aughton benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it would impact my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Me and my fiance are expecting to complete buying a house in Aughton but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have agreed reparation from the vendor of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but my bank will not permit this. Should they have been involved?

Your conveyancer being on a lender conveyancing panel is obliged to advise the lender of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to your lender then they would have to discontinue representing you and the mortgage company.
