My brother and I have lately acquired a property in Cwmcarn. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been carried out for conveyancing in Cwmcarn?
The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Cwmcarn. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information provided is incorrect, then you may have a claim against the seller 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 Cwmcarn.
