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 built my home in 1985, I own the road which goes down past my home, I was doing some work and a neighbor asked why I had not asked his permission to which I answered it's my road. It seems that in 2010 when he bought his home my road was included in his title deeds but is also included in mine which before me belonged to family members as they have resided in this village for 100 years at least. This seems to be have overlooked by land registry and his lawyer is stating it cannot be rectified. what do i do now, i am planning on selling a plot of land and I need the road. I do not just want pedestrian and vehicular access, he only moved in around 2010, I have been here all my life and in my home since 1985. Has his solicitor comited fraud?
You need to instruct a solicitor.
What exactly do I instruct the lawyer to do?? I have gone to the Scottish land registry but the fact that the road was mine and included in my title deeds well before the house in question was even up for sale has been totally overlooked, his lawyer is saying that the road can not be rectified from his title deeds. Surley this cannot be right, I would think that the estate agent who sold him the house has comitted fraud or at the very least has been negligent. Is there anyway I can find out what estate agent handled the sale of his house, as i would contact them directly if i could.
