My wife and I have lately bought a property in Bawtry. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Bawtry?

Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller completes a form referred to as a SPIF. answers is 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 Bawtry.
