My wife and I have just bought a house in Littleover. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Littleover?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Littleover. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information is misleading, then you may have a 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 Littleover.
