My wife and I have recently acquired a property in Monkseaton. We have noticed several problems with the property which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Monkseaton?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Monkseaton. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be 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 Monkseaton.
