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.

We are in the process of buying a house and have just discovered that part of the garden doesn't appear to be included within the boundary of any plans. There is an entry in the register dated 1996 referring to a transfer of land between two named parties, one of whom we know to be a previous owner of our property. A filed plan shows that this transfer of land refers to the part of the garden in question. However, our solicitor indicates that this transfer only grants us a right of way over this piece of land, not ownership. We are trying to find out who the other party named on this entry is, in order to find out more about it. Our solicitor did have one aerial plan showing a small white section of land apparently belonging to none of the surrounding properties - which happens to be the piece of land in question? Trying to get this resolved as we were given the impression that this was part of our garden and is behind a gate and included as if part of our property. There is very little information included in the entry so I wanted to know if there are more detailed versions kept anywhere, or how we might find out who the other named party is on the entry?
The Land Registry title register is the official record of property ownership. They do not keep "more details versions" of the register. You may wish to review the historic title deeds if you can obtain copies, or ask the neighbours.
