My brother and I have recently acquired a house in Fleet. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Fleet?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Fleet. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a questionnaire known as a SPIF. If the information proves to be misleading, then you may have a claim against the vendor 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 Fleet.

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Fleet will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Fleet.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Fleet it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately may result in delays to Fleet commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Fleet.
