My brother and I have recently bought a property in Levenshulme. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Levenshulme?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Levenshulme. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a questionnaire called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the owner 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 Levenshulme.

I am selling our home in Levenshulme and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Levenshulme. Having lived in Levenshulme for three years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Levenshulme.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we use their preferred conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Levenshulme
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Levenshulme conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by corporate headquarters.
