My brother and I have just acquired a property in Wakefield. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Wakefield?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Wakefield. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller fills in a document called a SPIF. answers provided is inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the owner 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 Wakefield.
