My brother and I have lately purchased a property in Tonyrefail. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been ordered for conveyancing in Tonyrefail?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Tonyrefail. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a document known as a SPIF. If the information proves to be incorrect, 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 Tonyrefail.

How does conveyancing in Tonyrefail differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Tonyrefail contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built.
