Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in North East London?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in North East London. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a form known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers ends up being incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor 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 North East London.

We previously chose solicitors locally in North East London on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your North East London lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.

What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society going?

It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, North East London conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Concerning the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
