My brother and I have lately bought a property in Upton Park. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Upton Park?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Upton Park. 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 process, a seller fills in a document referred to as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be misleading, 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 Upton Park.
