Last March we completed a house move in Northwich. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Northwich?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Northwich. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being inaccurate, 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 Northwich.
