The seller doesn’t have to disclose what are known as patent defects in title i.e. those obvious to the buyer upon inspection of the property. Examples are rights of way. Its important that you check the property for any evidence of a right of way, such as used pathways, gates, signs etc. If any such defects are apparent, you must tell your conveyancing solicitor straightaway so that he can make enquiries of the seller/seller’s solicitors.
