It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Marshfield. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor fills in a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation 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.
