Last June we completed a house move in Knowle. We have noticed several issues with the house which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Knowle?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Knowle. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers provided is misleading, you could possibly take legal action 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 Knowle.

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Knowle completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
