I have bought a house but I haven’’t received a “property information form”. Should this have been shown to me by my solicitors?

Under the standardised conveyancing procedure the seller’s solicitor should have asked his client to complete a property information form. This is an important document, and the seller will normally be bound by the replies he gives. The seller’s solicitor should have sent the completed form to your solicitor before contracts were exchanged. A solicitor acting for a buyer will not automatically copy the client in on the form, but the solicitor must report any adverse information disclosed by the form to the buyer. Ask your solicitor what happened to it.
