It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Welwyn Garden City. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be incorrect, 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 Welwyn Garden City.
