My brother and I have just bought a house in Chelmsley Wood. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Chelmsley Wood?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Chelmsley Wood. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor fills in a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be incorrect, you could possibly take legal action 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 Chelmsley Wood.
