Last May we completed a house move in Macclesfield. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Macclesfield?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Macclesfield. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a form referred to as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be misleading, you could possibly take legal action 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 Macclesfield.
As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Macclesfield what’s your top tip you can give me concerning the house moving process in Macclesfield
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Macclesfield or throughout Cheshire is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, estate agent and even potentially a bank.

There is a worrying emergence in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. You must always trust your lawyer above the other players in the home moving process.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Macclesfield I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Macclesfield in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
