Last January we completed a house move in Bamber Bridge. We have noticed several issues with the property which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Bamber Bridge?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Bamber Bridge. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information 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 Bamber Bridge.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Bamber Bridge completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
