My brother and I have lately acquired a property in Shildon. We have noticed several issues with the property which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Shildon?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Shildon. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a form known as a SPIF. If the information is misleading, 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 Shildon.

I am selling our house in Shildon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Shildon conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Shildon. Having lived in Shildon for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
