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.

We have a garage attached to the house and another a couple of yards away which we do not use and wish to sell it. Is this possible as it is featured on the title deeds
Hello,
Yes you can. You can do a "transfer of part". If you have a mortgage though you'll need the consent of your lender who may want you to pay off part of the mortgage debt in return for consent.
I have a similar situation. Can the mortgage company not keep same mortgage
It will depend on whether the loss of the garage from the title will affect the value of the property. Essentially the lender needs to make sure that the property it is left with is still saleable and it can still comfortably recover the amount owing under the mortgage should it need to repossess and sell. If it can then it might be that no lump sum payment is required. You will however have to pay for legal fees and probably a basic valuation.
