My partner and I have just bought a property in Willingham. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Willingham?

The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Willingham. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a questionnaire known as a SPIF. answers proves to be misleading, 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 Willingham.

I'm buying a new build house in Willingham with a loan from Clydesdale. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Willingham. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Willingham - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
