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.

Can a court remove this? If so how? My ex partner left the property 6 years ago. Tesco are not responding to any correspondance
It is possible to have this removed by the court however it would be a difficult process and it may be better to continue to pursue the creditor. If you are selling the property then provided both you and your ex partner sign the transfer deed which you will have to do if your own property jointly then the restriction should be automatically removed provided your conveyancer gives notice to the creditor of the sale. Your buyers solicitor not be comfortable with this however it may be the only way to proceed. Remember though that if you do this you and your ex will be holding the proceeds of sale on Trust for the creditor and will be under a duty to pay whatever money is due to them
The problem is her half doesn't cover the charges. (There are two. One has said go ahead and the other ie Hilesdon on behalf of Tesco are not responding). There isn't enough money to cover it even if I gave over my half, (though I have no obligation to do so). These are only in her name. The buyer is threatening to pull out of the sale. His solicitor has requested these restrictions be removed. We are yet to request one being left on...My only other option is to return the keys to the mortgage company, but there is equity in the property at present, just not enough to pay HER charging order restrictions. (Which were put on some years after she vacated the property & she hasn't contributed any money to the mortgage since). Would have remortgaged, but i'm not long discharged from bankruptcy. Thanks for the assistance
