My partner and I have lately acquired a house in Stamford Bridge. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Stamford Bridge?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Stamford Bridge. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller completes a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information is incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor 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 Stamford Bridge.
