Last August we completed a house move in Beaufort. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Beaufort?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Beaufort. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information provided is incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor 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 Beaufort.
