Last May we completed a house move in Edith Weston. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Edith Weston?
The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Edith Weston. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a document called a SPIF. answers provided is misleading, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Edith Weston.
My house in Edith Weston is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the lawyer have to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Edith Weston. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Edith Weston?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Edith Weston. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Can I be sure that the Edith Weston conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Edith Weston obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
I have paid off my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Edith Weston solicitor on the Coventry BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The benefit of a high street Edith Weston conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, present your ID and pester them if necessary. Having local Edith Weston know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job.
