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 need your advice to resolve a dispute regarding a charge that has arisen because of a clause in my TP1 document. During the process of acquiring my property in June 2017, the developer i.e. Kier Homes were building a block of flats adjacent to the property I was buying. They never advised or stated that completion of the flats they were building in adjacent to my property will impact me in any way. Three months into the ownership of my property, the attached letter was sent to me by my solicitors with a new TP1 requesting for my signature. At the time I did not fully grasp the implication of the change in TP1 and I signed it accordingly. Following on from there, I have now had the appointed management company for Kier Homes that manages the block of flats insisting that I pay for the shared access road that leads to my parking space as well as my garage. I have refused to pay them and as a result they have now referred the non-payment to a debt collector.
First, I want to understand what I can do in relation to challenging or removal of amended clauses in my TP1 document this was not originally stated or discussed during the purchasing process. Second whilst the dispute remains, can I inform the debt collector that the charge is being disputed and hence the dispute will have to be resolved until any payment can be made? Third, does the solicitors who represented me for the conveyancing have any legal obligation to have refuted the changes in the TPI post the completion of the property given that it was never discussed prior to completion? I am also of the humble opinion that something was amiss as the solicitors who represented me for the purchase were recommended by the Kier Homes so hence the level of scrutiny that should have been offered on the purchase was very limited. Thank you for taking time to read the above and hope you will duly advise the best way to resolve the above.
