Last May we completed a house move in Messingham. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Messingham?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Messingham. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a questionnaire known as a SPIF. answers turns out to be 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 Messingham.
Me and my partner are buying a flat in Messingham. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Messingham
It would be unwise to be seduced by the cheapest Messingham conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
We were going to get a AIP from Nationwide this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any Messingham solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Messingham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Messingham and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives protection to commercial lessees, granting the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
