Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a questionnaire known as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim 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.
