Default Local Search Gave Incorrect Results

Hi

I purchased a property two years but recently discovered that a public transportation scheme was to be constructed approx 15m from my front door. The local search agency used at the time of purchase did not advise of such scheme (which it should have done), which subsequently resulted in me not being given the opportunity to renegotiate the property price or pull out of the purchase. Where do I stand legally with regard to sueing the Search Agency for my moving costs as the property no longer has the attraction it originally had before I found out about this public transportation schem and I am already getting ready to market my property.

Can anyone recommend a solicitor in the UK who has experience of such cases (ideally on a no win no fee basis)?

Does anyone no the best approach to take with regard to sueing the Search Agency WITHOUT using a legal representative?

Appreciate all the help offered!

Matt

Default Re: Local Search Gave Incorrect Results

If you have a copy of the search result, it should include the search agency's complaints procedure - that might be a good place to start. However, ensure that it does not mean you giving up your legal rights, as you might need to fall back on them
