Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Lees and Moorside?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Lees and Moorside. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes a document known as a SPIF. If the information provided is inaccurate, 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 Lees and Moorside.
