Leasehold, freehold, unregistered, registered – we've got it all covered.
Need help with a remortgage or transfer of equity / deed of gift? Our guides will walk you through the process and highlight some of the common pitfalls. Mortgages and transfers can be very simple procedures but complex issues can sometimes arise and mistakes are easily made. These guides will help you deal with them.
So you want to have a go at your own conveyancing? First you should read about the risks, then if you're still happy to proceed, our guides will take you through each stage of the process telling you what to look out for and helping you avoid falling into expensive traps. Our subscription service will give you access to all of the documents you should need for your conveyancing and we can even supply you with the Land Registry Official Copies you'll need. Our general guides will cover all the obstacles you are likely to face and offer a practical solution. Have a look at our sale and purchase guides too.
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.

I have agreed a purchase price on approximately 14 sq metres of my neighbours field that abuts my rear garden. Neither he nor I have mortgages but it appear that his field is unregistered.
What forms do I need to undertake my side of the conveyancing process and is there any other advice available?
We advise you use a professional conveyancer.
If doing it yourself you will need Form TP1 to transfer the part, an HMLR compliant plan at 1:1250 scale showing the part to be transferred edged red, Form AP1 to apply to HMLR on completion, and Form ID1 signed off by a solicitor or similar for each party to the transaction to identify yourself to the Land Registry.
In most cases it will still cost you about half as much doing it yourself due to thee ID1s as using a solicitor for everything. It's just more work, generally takes longer and carries a higher risk of problems further down the line if something goes wrong.
I would advise using a conveyancer such as Notary Express on 03333 122 221.
