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.

We bought our house in 2016. We own a large drive which has three garages on. Two of the garages belong to our neighbours. Our deeds give permission to our neighbours to pass on foot and by car to access their garages. However the deeds for one of our neighbours properties say they have permission to park on the drive. Our deeds were issued first (as our property was sold first when all 3 properties were built in 2003) so land registry have said our deeds must give the right for it to be enforceable. Our neighbours solicitors have now written to us to ask us for our thoughts on the matter as they want to formalise their right to park. Question is, should our Conveyancing solicitor have cross checked our neighbours’ deeds given that they have a right to pass over our land on foot and by car? At which point the discrepancy would have been spotted.
No, they would only examine your property and your deeds. They would not provide an additional service to examine other properties unless you expressly instructed them to do so (and paid them for the extra work). If there is an error in your deeds you may wish to check if HM Land Registry have any liability for their error.
