Conveyancing negligence can lead to significant financial losses and emotional distress for those involved in property transactions. If you have been a victim of conveyancing negligence, you may be entitled to claim compensation. The amount you can claim...
Buying a property is a big commitment and buyers always want to know as much as possible about their potential purchase before everything goes through. Finding out after completion that your new home has serious structural issues or defects is very difficult to deal with and can have huge financial implications too.
Buying property will always have some element of risk but there are some safeguards within the process which help to minimise this, such as the TA6 property information form. This document asks the seller a number of questions about the property, which they are obliged to answer honestly, and as part of this they should declare any major structural issues that they know about. If they fail to do this or are found to have lied about the property’s structural problems or tried to hide them to mislead the buyer or surveyor, you may be able to make a property misrepresentation claim against the seller.
