If someone buys a property then discovers an issue which they refer to their Insurers, do the Insurers then go back to the Vendor even if this was an unknown issue to them?

    Presumably you are talking about you discover a defect with the property as soon as you get the keys?

    If so, no, they will just decline the claim as a pre-existing issue that didnt occur during the period of the insurance.
