Last July we completed a house move in Keston. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been ordered for conveyancing in Keston?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Keston. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller completes a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Keston.
Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Keston costs more?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Keston and elsewhere usually necessitates more work compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes reviewing the lease, communicating with the landlord concerning serving appropriate notices, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, securing the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first entered into.
