Last September we completed a house move in Needham Market. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Needham Market?
The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Needham Market. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner fills in a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information provided is misleading, 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 Needham Market.
