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.

My property that was connected to other terraced houses that were demolished to become part of a new housing development. A gable wall was built on my house 12 years ago and it was left with 12ft of fenced off land, which is shown on the new development, but my outline is still with the old house next door. The council that administered the work no longer exists. The housing group and the new County Council have no interest in the land. How can I get my Land Registry drawing consolidated to show the new boundary?
Unless a transfer was executed changing the boundary then prima facie your boundary is correct as it remains as per the original transfer (assuming that is the case). Is there a change of boundary or is this just a wall that has been built? The Land Registry does not need to be updated on any outline changes - only on transfers of land.

If there was a transfer of land, I would presume it was by Wansbeck District Council, which no longer exists. Northumberland CC, who took over, have no record of this.
Would it have been up to the then owner to consolidate this? They are unlikely to have done this, as they fell into arrears and the home was repossessed by the bank, which is when I purchased the property in 2013.
