My brother and I have just purchased a house in Newton Abbot. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Newton Abbot?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Newton Abbot. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a document referred to as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be 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 Newton Abbot.
