Last month we completed a house move in Mosborough. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Mosborough?

The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Mosborough. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a questionnaire called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers ends up being misleading, then you may have a 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 Mosborough.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Mosborough benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would affect my mortgage 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.

Given that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a terraced house in Mosborough I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer about myhouse move ahead of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
