Last March we completed a house move in Faversham. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Faversham?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Faversham. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a questionnaire known as a SPIF. If the information proves to be incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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 Faversham.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Faversham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies.

Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
