Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a form called a SPIF. answers is misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property.

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 Burghfield Common.
