Last November we completed a house move in Beaconsfield. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were omitted 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 Beaconsfield?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Beaconsfield. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a questionnaire called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers provided is misleading, you could possibly take legal action 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 Beaconsfield.

For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
