Last June we completed a house move in Tenbury Wells. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Tenbury Wells?

The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Tenbury Wells. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be incorrect, you could possibly take legal action against the vendor 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 Tenbury Wells.
