Last we completed a house move in Tonbridge. We have noticed several problems with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been carried out for conveyancing in Tonbridge?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Tonbridge. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a questionnaire called a SPIF. If the information turns out to be 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.
