My brother and I have lately bought a property in Mosborough. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Mosborough?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Mosborough. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information provided is incorrect, 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 Mosborough.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Mosborough is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Mosborough are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Mosborough you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mosborough may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Developers have put forward a conveyancer and I've received a quote from them. It's almost £300 cheaper than my preferred Mosborough conveyancer. Should I use them?
Housebuilders frequently have lists of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the seller’s paperwork and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to choose their approved property lawyer for this reason, any increased cost can be avoided and a builder won't suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they need an exchange within a tight time frame. The argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancer is that they may be unwilling to fight for your interests at the risk of alienating the sellers. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your local Mosborough solicitor.
