Last May we completed a house move in Lymm and Warburton. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a questionnaire referred to as a SPIF. answers is inaccurate, 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 Lymm and Warburton.
