Last February we completed a house move in Claverley. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Claverley?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Claverley. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a questionnaire known as a SPIF. answers 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 Claverley.
What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Claverley?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Claverley and elsewhere in Shropshire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, property agent and on occasion a bank.

Sometimes a potential adversary will attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
