Last July we completed a house move in Pontypool. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Pontypool?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Pontypool. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor fills in a questionnaire called 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 Pontypool.

If you are using a Pontypool conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with long established local providers
