My wife and I have just acquired a property in Bucklesham. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Bucklesham?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Bucklesham. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being misleading, then you may have a 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 Bucklesham.

I have recentlyfound out that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Bucklesham for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Bucklesham conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Bucklesham I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Bucklesham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
