Last October we completed a house move in Felling and Pelaw. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw?
The question is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a questionnaire referred to 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 Felling and Pelaw.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only move forward if we appoint their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’.
