It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Rawcliffe. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes a form known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is misleading, 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 Rawcliffe.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Rawcliffe. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Rawcliffe?
