Last November we completed a house move in Wanstead Flats. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Wanstead Flats?

The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Wanstead Flats. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers proves to be inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the vendor 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 Wanstead Flats.

I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a Wanstead Flats based conveyancing firm?

You should check but the chances are that give you one of their panel solicitors where you want the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the mortgage company and determine if they allow a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Wanstead Flats.

I got the keys to my home on 2 March and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Wanstead Flats expressed confidence that it will be recorded inside ten days. Are transfers in Wanstead Flats particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Wanstead Flats registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property so post completion formalities is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
