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.

Hi,
We need to re-mortgage our terraced property which benefit to have a big back garden with a separate access through a shared drive way (where we got the unlimited right of pass and re-pass).
We are currently building a new house on our back garden and we are in the process to re-mortgage the existing property, but before that we will require to split and to have two separate deeds:
- One for the existing terraced property .
- One for the new house on our back garden.
Note that the new house will require to keep the right of way through the drive way and also to have access to a side passage way of the existing property in 24 Here ward Close.
Does this only involve to fill the AP1 form or anything else?
We already got your quote of £248 through the website:
Hi,
The first question is, do you have mortgage on the property at the moment? If so then you cannot split the title without the existing lender's consent. It is likely that consent if granted will be conditional on you paying off part of the existing mortgage. If you don't currently have a mortgage then an application to split the title on form AP1 is what is required. When you sell the new property (I assume that is your intention) you will need to grant the buyer the rights over the drive etc
Best regards

Hi, we have a shop, 2 flats and an out-building all on one property footprint and deeds. We wish to re-mortgage, how can we split the deeds so we can get mortgages on btl basis for each individual unit? Thanks
