Need help with a remortgage or transfer of equity / deed of gift? Our guides will walk you through the process and highlight some of the common pitfalls. Mortgages and transfers can be very simple procedures but complex issues can sometimes arise and mistakes are easily made. These guides will help you deal with them.
So you want to have a go at your own conveyancing? First you should read about the risks, then if you're still happy to proceed, our guides will take you through each stage of the process telling you what to look out for and helping you avoid falling into expensive traps. Our subscription service will give you access to all of the documents you should need for your conveyancing and we can even supply you with the Land Registry Official Copies you'll need. Our general guides will cover all the obstacles you are likely to face and offer a practical solution. Have a look at our sale and purchase guides too.
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.

I own a house and garden, but included in the title is a small area of land (not attached to house and garden) which currently has a forfeit lease on it. (I own the freehold of the patch of land). There are issues around removing the lease - which caused my house sale to fall through last year - and I was wondering if it would be possible to split the title and just put the house and garden on the market, fairly shortly.
If anyone could help with this kind of transaction, and give me some idea of cost, I'd be very grateful!
Use a TP1 to transfer part of the property to another entity such as a friend, company or so forth. Bear in mind SDLT may be payable as well as CGT, and if there's a mortgage you need lender consent. Consider selling to the buyer under a TP1 so it splits on completion of the sale. Bear in mind another buyer may not raise the same queries as the first one. Your conveyancer will give you all these options and advise you through the process.
