Last June we completed a house move in Gamston. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Gamston?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Gamston. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a questionnaire referred to as a SPIF. answers provided is 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 Gamston.
