Last October we completed a house move in Great Dunmow. We have noticed several problems with the house which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Great Dunmow?

If the information provided is incorrect, 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 Great Dunmow.

I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Great Dunmow. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
