My partner and I have lately bought a property in Guiseley. We have noticed several issues with the house which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Guiseley?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Guiseley. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a questionnaire known as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the vendor 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 Guiseley.
