My partner and I have lately purchased a house in Bubwith. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Bubwith?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Bubwith. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a form called a SPIF. If the information proves to be incorrect, you could possibly take legal action 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 Bubwith.
