Last December we completed a house move in Dockland Settlement. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been ordered for conveyancing in Dockland Settlement?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Dockland Settlement. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a questionnaire called a SPIF. If the information provided is incorrect, then you may have a 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.
