My brother and I have recently purchased a house in Ranmoor. We have noticed several issues with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been ordered for conveyancing in Ranmoor?
The question is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Ranmoor. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers turns out to be misleading, 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 Ranmoor.

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Ranmoor and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience.

You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
