Last May we completed a house move in Chorley and Eccleston. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Chorley and Eccleston?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Chorley and Eccleston. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a document called a SPIF. answers is inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action 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 Chorley and Eccleston.
