Last February we completed a house move in Ripon. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Ripon?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Ripon. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor fills in a document called a SPIF. If the information turns out to be incorrect, then you may have a 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 Ripon.

There is not much else in Ripon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.
