My wife and I have recently bought a property in Swadlincote. We have since encountered a number of problems with the property which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Swadlincote?

The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Swadlincote. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a form called a SPIF. If the information is inaccurate, 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. 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 Swadlincote.
