Last May we completed a house move in Bosham. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Bosham?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Bosham. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a form called a SPIF. answers turns out to be misleading, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Bosham.
