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.

This is the wording of Clause 2 of my TP1 between the original transferor and Transferee of my property in 1966. I think this does not create a service charge/rent charge or any other means for the current Transferor to ask for an annual lump sum that far exceeds the cost of the maintenance but creates a sinking fund. I have refused to pay more than my share of the costs of actual maintenance/gardening because we have no say how past funds have been spent nor do we have accounts of how it has been spent. My solicitor was told when I purchased my property: “There are no formal arrangements as such, everyone just contributes as and when required.” The new transferor is threatening to take me to court because I refuse to pay whatever sum they ask for each year. I maintain my TP1 does not create authority for such a fund. Who is right?:
"2. FOR the benefit and protection of the adjoining land retained by the Transferor or any part or parts thereof and so as to bind the land hereby transferred into whosoever’s hands the same may come the Transferees hereby (jointly and severally) covenant with the Transferor that the Transferees and those deriving title under them will at all times hereafter (1) pay a fair proportion (to be assessed by the Transferor’s Surveyor in the event of any dispute) of the cost of (a)carrying out on the land coloured green on the said plan works of a landscaping nature in a manner first approved by the Transferor and thereafter to maintain the same and the works carried out thereon in a good clean and tidy state and condition so long as required so to do by the Transferor and (b) maintaining and keeping in good repair the land hatched brown and the footpaths coloured brown and the fence between the points marked A and D on the said plan ..."
