My brother and I have recently purchased a house in Gunnersbury. We have noticed several problems with the property which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Gunnersbury?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Gunnersbury. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a questionnaire called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers provided is incorrect, 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 Gunnersbury.
The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Gunnersbury 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be held by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, find your house and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
