Last May we completed a house move in Ludlow. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been carried out for conveyancing in Ludlow?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Ludlow. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is inaccurate, 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 Ludlow.
We note that you have a search directory identifying firms on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our own conveyancing in Ludlow?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Ludlow.
Is it necessary to pay for insurance to protect me from financial exposure to chancel repairs when acquiring a house in Ludlow?
Unless a prior purchase of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Ludlow to continue to recommend a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Ludlow
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Ludlow conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by corporate headquarters.
