My partner and I have recently bought a house in Wallasey. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Wallasey?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Wallasey. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a document called a SPIF. If the information is incorrect, then you may have a 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 Wallasey.
