Last March we completed a house move in Crawcrook and Ryton. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Crawcrook and Ryton?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Crawcrook and Ryton. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a questionnaire called a SPIF. answers proves to be misleading, 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 Crawcrook and Ryton.

However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease.

In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
