My partner and I have recently purchased a house in Longthorpe. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Longthorpe?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Longthorpe. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is incorrect, then you may have a claim against the seller 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 Longthorpe.
