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.

public notice was issued stating estate agent was acting on behalf of mortgagees in possession yet I am told this is wrong as LPA Receivers were appointed. Can this be checked through conveyancing records or any other way?
In practice this really doesn't make any difference. Why is this an issue for you? If you can answer I might be able to help further.
I had two repossessed properties sold undervalue e.g. one sold for £61,000 and just four months in January it resold for £98,000. FOS said case was dealt with by LPA Receivers and therefore outside their remit. However, correspondence from lender and two estate agent public notices of offer on two different property websites indicated that the lenders acted as mortgagees in possession.
Any suggestions? There are mortgage shortfalls totaling £54,000 as a result.
I don't think the lender can escape liability just by appointing receivers rather than selling under its power of sale. There is generally no personal liability on the receiver. I think if you seriously believe the lender has acted negligently you need to speak to litigation solicitor
thank you. It's not really certain what has happened as even the first letter (in response to my FOS complaint) by the lender made no mention of an appointed LPA Receiver whatsoever i.e. the lender indicated that it controlled the marketing strategy/property sale itself. I agree, it has to be worth consulting a litigation solicitor which I shall do. Any thoughts you'd like to express on this?
