My partner and I have lately bought a house in Highams Park. We have noticed several issues with the house which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Highams Park?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Highams Park. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a questionnaire called a SPIF. If the information is incorrect, 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 Highams Park.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Highams Park I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Highams Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
