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 Purchased a house freehold with a mortgage in 2001 from a mother and son, just come to sell it 18 years later and find out there is a restriction at the land registry in favour of the Mother and Barclays, We used a big legal firm to do all the legal stuff, we assume any loans will have been repaid on completion as the Barclays name has been removed however the mothers name is still there, I think the mother has possibly past away and we have no contact information for the son, this only leaves the daughter who will probably be one of the executors but sadly she's not someone you want to have a hold over you for anything. (rotten apple to the core)
Can the restriction be enforced blocking me selling the land/property without the mother agreement, we purchased the house freehold she and her son got paid in full and they moved away, there are no ties whatsoever between us so what happens if she's still alive and refuses to sign or the executors make big financial demands for their cooperation, its a big house now with 18 years of money love and hard work gone into it. how will our buyer get a mortgage with a restriction registered.
The original solicitors have filed a RX3 but they have no records 18 years down the road.
Can the beneficiary of the restriction just sit back and say make me an offer for my cooperation even though you purchased the property in full without knowledge of this restriction, is the original solicitor negligent these people could ask £500k if the restriction is enforceable and doesn't have to be supported by anything other than a solicitor missed getting it removed 18 years ago
