Last we completed a house move in Palmers Green. We have noticed several issues with the property which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Palmers Green?
The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Palmers Green. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a document referred to as a SPIF. If the information provided is incorrect, 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 Palmers Green.

A small minority of properties in Palmers Green do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
