My brother and I have recently purchased a house in Grasmere. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Grasmere?

It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Grasmere. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be inaccurate, 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 Grasmere.
