Last December we completed a house move in Deganwy. We have noticed several issues with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been carried out for conveyancing in Deganwy?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Deganwy. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller fills in a document known as a SPIF. answers proves to be misleading, 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 Deganwy.
