Last September we completed a house move in Gerrards Cross. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Gerrards Cross?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Gerrards Cross. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a questionnaire known as a SPIF. If the information is misleading, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Gerrards Cross.
