Last February we completed a house move in Northampton. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Northampton?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Northampton. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a document called a SPIF. answers proves to be 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. 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 Northampton.
