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.

The LA placed a charge against the house [jointly owned by me & Father] in 2007 shortly before my Father died while I was pursuing a NHS Continuing Care case.
If I sell the house, how much will a conveyancer charge me to discharge the charge with the LA?
How long does this take and will it slow down any sale?
Also I have no idea how much is owed. The LA Finance Dept. last wrote to me in 2009 -I responded I was still pursuing the claim. I have not heard further from the LA in respect of claim.
All a bit of a mess.
Thanks for any advice.
I can't answer for other conveyancers but we don't have hidden fees at Notary Express so with us it will cost you a grand total of £0, assuming it is ancillary to the work we are carrying out for you on the sale. Discharge will normally be on completion with the relevant undertaking (legal promise) given during the course of the matter by your conveyancer so it has no effect on the sale speed. You may wish to contact the LA for an updated amount owing figure, otherwise the conveyancer will do that for you too. Please feel free to email us at [email protected] with any further queries.
