Last August we completed a house move in New Farnley. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in New Farnley?

The question is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in New Farnley. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information is misleading, you could possibly take legal action 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. 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 New Farnley.
