My brother and I have just acquired a house in Deganwy. We have noticed several problems with the property which we suspect were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Deganwy?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Deganwy. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes a form known as a SPIF. answers turns out to be incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation 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 Deganwy.
