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.

our mortgage provider is happy to release funds for our purchase but our solicitor will not provide a certificate of title what can we do?
The certificate of title is the solicitor's warranty that it has inspected the title in accordance with the lender's instructions and complied with any other obligations to the lender and that the title is good and marketable and it is safe for the lender to lend, so yes the lender will be happy to release funds on receipt of a clear certificate of title because it can then rely on the solicitor's warranty. If your solicitor won't sent it then presumably this is because there something outstanding which prevents him from safely providing this warranty. He will not submit the certificate if his investigations into the title etc are not complete because to do so would leave him open to be sued by your lender for negligence (even if you signed a waiver of your own rights). Speak to your solicitor about what is preventing him from submitting the certificate
There is an outstanding condition on the planning regardung the access to the driveway entrance kerb needing to be dropped but this is in hand with the county council and are just awaiting a date.
On the face if it then it sounds like the matter can't proceed until this is actually resolved but it's difficult to make any definitive judgement without a more intimate knowledge of the case. I would recommend you trust the advice of your conveyancer, who is after acting in your interests
Thank you for replies. We are only borrowing a small amount of mortgage for our purchase so coyld there be a chznce that our lender may waiver thrir rights too? I do hope so as our chain us in the verge of collapse as we are into our 13th week
If your solicitor hasn't already he can write to the lender and set out the facts and the lender may or may not (usually not I'm afraid to say) agree to proceed. Best of luck!
There are 2 properties together and the other house have a moving date. Is this possible?
