I purchased a property several years ago with H & Co and found out a year later that the property had not been signed off by the local authority. I was living in a property that did not conform to the building standards. I would have thought that a solicitor would have spotted this during the convensing?

I've dealt with Hallett and Co several times but for conveyancing and for advice on a personal injury claim. Service has been fantastic every time, I could not recommend more.
