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.

Good day. In September last year wwe contracted with a builder to purchase a property with scheduled completion on the 19 th October. Completion was delayed by the builder to 22 nd November and we had to move into temporary accommodation for 4 weeks. During the build we agreed certain changes with the builder in respect of kitchen, electrics and tile choices and PAID against his invoice for those items. Now 4 months post completion he has sent us an unsupported invoice for extra costs on the tiles, electrics and other items. He agreed to pay our temporary accommodation expenses and extra moving cost amounting to £270 more than his unsupported invoice. I don’t believe I have any legal or moral obligation to pay his invoice but to appease him I offered to call the account even. And move on. He has responded with very aggressive threats including taking me to court, claiming addition “costs” and refusing to supply completion documents and remedying snagging in breach of the contract. Please please anyone can you advise if I am within my rights to contest this claim potentially going to court? My solicitors have steadfastly refused to respond to my emails or telephone calls.thank you.
This seems like a very stressful position and I am sorry you have found yourself here. The solicitors who represented you in the purchase need to assist you in sorting these post-completion matters out. If they are refusing to respond, I would send a short email/letter to the head firm or CEO to ask for their assistance and perhaps raising an EOD "expression of dissatisfaction" (pre-complaint stage). It will cost you more to appoint a new solicitor so I suggest you persist and insist on being heard.
