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.

Hi, I have been trying to remortgage my house but have been told by the bank solicitor that we cannot proceed until a restriction is removed. The restriction is the standard tenancy in common text. I know that the
forms required are RX3 and ST5 but have tried to fill these out only to have them rejected by the land registry. I have asked a solicitor to deal with this matter but after being quoted £250 all in received a bill for £512 and so just need some help with the text for the forms. I am literally at my wits end as this is just two forms! Please help if you can.
What's the reason for the restriction? Did you previously own the property jointly with someone else but have it transferred into your sole name? If so then if you purchase our statutory declaration as to equitable title (use this web address http://freeconveyancingadvice.co.uk/guides-resources/statutory-declaration-as-to-equitable-interest) and copy the wording into your ST5 it should do the trick, as long as the RX3 is properly completed
Hi, thanks for your time it is appreciated. This restriction was added without my knowledge, I was only made aware of it by the bank that I am re-mortgaging with (solicitors used at the time have long since ceased trading). The documents that were used to impose this restriction also refer to a deed of trust in the included documents but the Land Registry cannot find this document which is a little worrying. It is more than a little worrying that a legal representative can use these forms without the signature of the involved party, there is a box on the form for consent but this is signed by the representative only. There doesn't seem to be any protection for the client in that case (this deed of trust could say that the solicitor owns the house for all we know).
Sorry but I digressed. If you could possibly give me some text to use in box 9 for RX3 form and box 3 for ST5 form that would be most helpful.
Hi< I also have the same problem.
I do not understand the forms. Not sure what to put in box 3 of the ST5 form, and also box 9 on the RX3 form, any help would be much appreciated.
I'm also having the same problem, did either of you find a solution?
This helped me:
