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.

A friendly solicitor in my small town (Nailsworth) has informed me that I can do the TR1 form without needing to appoint an expert. My late husband and I had mirrored trust wills and I understand that now his 50% of the property should be held in trust for our two children (currently aged 11 and 13). There is no outstanding mortgage and it was owned 50% by him and the other 50% by myself.I successfully applies for grant of probate. I have tried to fill in the TR1 form but have not yet found the answers I am looking for for some of the sections. Please can I ask / check on the following:
Section 4: I just give my name?
Section 5: Do I put myself and my childrens' names here? There isn't much space.
Section 8: I don't know which box to tick here.
Section 9: Am I correct to tick the first box; 'full title guarantee'?
Section 10: Do I tick the third box and then detail myself as 50%, my son as 25% and my daughter as 25%. I understand that as trustee of my late husband's land trust, I am the person with the power to appoint any additional trustee. Does this go in section 10 as well?
Section 11: Is this where I need to state that a will's trust of the deceased was held as on......(enter date of will)?
Section 12: Can I check I need to enter the below twice; once for me and once for the new trustee?:
Signed as a deed by (full name of transferor)_________________ (signature)
In the presence of: _________________(signature of witness)
(print full name and address of witness)
I really hope you can help.It is not easy for the lay person to fill out correctly.
