Last January we completed a house move in Cinderford. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been carried out for conveyancing in Cinderford?

Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers proves to be 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 Cinderford.

Will my lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Cinderford.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Cinderford. There are those who acquire a property in Cinderford, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Cinderford. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the seller to discover if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading answer. A buyer’s lawyers may also conduct an environmental report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be initiated.
