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 am interested in an opinion of what to do, without going into grave detail I was party to an action against a creditor at the time. In the end my claim was dismissed and the creditor was awarded a costs order for a third of their costs. The value was approximately £10k at the time in 2012. They attempted to have a charging order placed on my home at the time. Subsequently the court granted the interim charging order and I was ordered to pay £49 pcm to the creditor as payment against this debt. They attempted to get an order of sale but failed, however the charge was never converted to a final charging order and it is still lingering as interim.
I continued to make the payments of £49, however after three (ish) years the solicitor I was paying the fee too was sold and my payments began to bounce. I wrote and received no reply. I have never made a payment since and never had anyone chace me.
I believe my understanding is that the charging order should have been made final at least for them. If not how long does it stay on? Can it be left interim indefinitely? Since I haven't paid I note that if I do not acknowledge the debt in 12 years since my last payment and they don't chase then they can't chase unless I pay or acknowledge it again.
What happens with the interim charge and how best do I dispose of it. I have no intention at the moment of moving for the foreseeable future.
