Last March we completed a house move in Rumney. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Rumney?

Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems.

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 Rumney.

Flying freeholds in Rumney are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
