Last March we completed a house move in Leyton. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Leyton?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Leyton. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor fills in a document called a SPIF. answers turns out to be inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action 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 Leyton.

Just bought a detached house in Leyton , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Leyton conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my name is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Leyton registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property so 'speed' is not typically top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
