Last February we completed a house move in Ravenglass. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Ravenglass?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Ravenglass. 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, a seller fills in a form referred to as a SPIF. answers provided is incorrect, 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 Ravenglass.

I have been recommended by numerous estate agents in Ravenglass to choose a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers ahead of a competitor’s?
We don’t make any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
