A big part of the conveyancing process is the conveyancing searches. This section tells you all about them. What they are, how and when to order them and how to interpret the results. Each search has its own guide and you'll see they are separated into Standard (should be done in every case), Regional (area specific) and Optional (not essential but often useful tools for the would be purchaser). All buyers should beware that when you buy a property, the law assumes that you have seen the information that would have been revealed by searches whether or not you have actually carried them out, so you buy the property subject to the results.
Using a conveyancer to handle your conveyancing will greatly reduce the risk to you and sometimes, particularly if you are taking out a new mortgage, you will have no choice but to instruct a conveyancer. The good news is it doesn't have to break the bank. Get a free, instant quote here. We can also help with quick easy quotes for other moving related services.

Hi . please could you help me with this, would this restriction stop me purchasing the piece of land from my mother RESTRICTION: No disposition by a sole proprietor of the
registered estate (except a trust corporation) under which capital
money arises is to be registered unless authorised by an order of the
court.
Many thanks.Richard
This restriction is commonly known as the "sole proprietor restriction" and prevents the title from being sold, transferred etc by only one proprietor. When your mother purchased the land I assume she did so as 'Tenants in Common' (instead of Joint Tenants) with another party; as this would trigger HMLR to enter the above restriction.
As long as the land is being sold by both your mother & the other party the restriction will be satisfied. Conversely, if the second party is no longer tied to the property (i.e, if they have passed away or disposed of their own share) your mother can apply to have the restriction removed by completing an RX3 and ST5 form.
I hope this helps, but if you need any further advise or assistance, I would recommend contacting Notary Express on 0333 122 221.
