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 trying to sell a shop, its freehold with no mortgage and sold for low price hence the DIY convencing. So far bluffing my way through.
The buyers solicitor has asked for "Please also confirm that prior to exchange of contracts and completion of this matter you will let me have a duly signed contract and a duly signed and executed transfer deed that will be held to your order pending exchange of contracts and completion."
I am not sure what she is referring to as 'executed transfer deed'. Is this the land registry AP1 or TP2 forms? If we have signed and 'executed' these forms then as it says on them "The transferor has received from the transferee for the
property the following sum (in words and figures):" surely if we sign that then it infers we already have the money which we don't. I'm worried that she is trying to hoodwink me into handing over signed documents before the money is received.
What should I do and have I got the right forms that she is asking for?
Many thanks for the help
