"Surely the previous owner would have been liable to correct the known and obvious faults?"
"If faults are known and obvious to the buyer the seller would not need to point them out."
The seller must not misrepresent the property the property and must disclose any known problems that are not readily appararent. He must disclose any work that has been done on the search form
In real life thing get trickier.r Did the seller do the work or was it a previous owner? Was the owner acually aware of the faulty work. Were the problems obvious?
Litigation is expensive and uncertain and at the end of the day the seller may have no funds. Better to inspect the property thoroughly with someone knowleadgeable about buildings and have a full survey done before proceeding
