My brother and I have just bought a house in Banwell. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Banwell?

It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Banwell. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being misleading, then you may have a 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 Banwell.
