Last February we completed a house move in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge. We have noticed several problems with the property which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a form called a SPIF. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, 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 Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge.
