Last we completed a house move in Colwyn Bay. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Colwyn Bay?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Colwyn Bay. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor fills in a document referred to as a SPIF. If the information ends up being inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action 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 Colwyn Bay.
