Last February we completed a house move in Oadby. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Oadby?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Oadby. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a questionnaire called a SPIF. answers is incorrect, you could possibly take legal action 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 Oadby.
