I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my let out apartment in Kensal Green by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Can I complete in six weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice for your lease unless your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not previously done so, speak to your conveyancer and urge them to they apply pressure on the other side, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will aim towards
Last month we completed a house move in Kensal Green. We have since encountered a number of issues 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 Kensal Green?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Kensal Green. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a questionnaire called a SPIF. answers proves to be misleading, you could possibly take legal action 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 Kensal Green.
I need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner in Kensal Green for my purchase. Is it possible to see a firm’s record with the profession’s regulator?
