Last September we completed a house move in Norwood Green. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been conducted for conveyancing in Norwood Green?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Norwood Green. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor fills in a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Norwood Green.

I am buying a new build house in Norwood Green with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may put at risk my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
