My wife and I have recently purchased a property in Frampton on Severn. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Frampton on Severn?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Frampton on Severn. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a document called a SPIF. If the information ends up being incorrect, you could possibly take legal action 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 Frampton on Severn.

How does conveyancing in Frampton on Severn differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Frampton on Severn come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Frampton on Severn tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying.

Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended.
