My partner and I have lately bought a property in Kirkby In Furness. We have noticed several issues with the property which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Kirkby In Furness?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Kirkby In Furness. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be 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. 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 Kirkby In Furness.
