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.

Good afternoon, please could you explain in lay-man's terms what the following clause in the Land Registry Title Plan actually means with regard to right of access for the person who owns Absolute Title of the Title Plan it is written on? The land has the benefit of the following rights reserved by but is subject to the following rights granted by a Transfer of the land edged and numbered **** in green on the filed plan attached dated 1986 made between Mr A and Mr B:- TOGETHER with for the benefit of the Purchaser and its successors in title the owner or occupiers of the Property or any part thereof the right of free and uninterupted passage and running of water, soil gas electricity and telephone and other servies through any channels drains sewers pipes wires or other conducting media now existing or may be contructed with the period of 80 years from the date hereof in on under or over the land retained by the Transferor shown green on the plan or any part thereof for the purposes of repairing maintaining inspecting or relaying the said channels drains sewers wires pipes cables or other conducting media and subject to a right of way on foot for the Vendor and its successors in title, tenants, agent, servants, workpeople and patrons at all times and for all purposes in connection with the reasonable enjoyment of the retained land and a right of way with vehicles for the vendor and its servants and workpeople for the purposes of delivery to and servicing of the building and machinery on the retained land over and along the accessway shown colour brown on the plan. Thank you very much for any help you can give.
Whatever property's deeds this extract is from, the owner of that property has a general right of way over the adjoining land (the land that contains the accessway coloured brown) for access to the property. In addition the owner has a right of way with vehicles over the accessway coloured brown specifically for getting to the building and machinery on his land (which may not now be there in which case the vehicular right has effectivelyt come to an end).
The owner's neighbour has the right to access the owner's land to inspect any sewer pipes, electric cables etc that cross the owner's land
