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 purchased a freehold property in a development of 14 identical properties. These properties have communal grounds. It now transpires that the solicitor transferred the individual properties with variations in the TP1 which essentially means different rules exist for different properties. Is this a normal situation? How would issues ariising out of this now be resolved?
Normally the developer's lawyer will keep the TP1s identical (save as to the plans) to avoid any conflict of terms. Having different TP1 is not the end of the world providing there is no conflict between the terms or a discrepancy such as service charge payments across the properties not adding up to 100% of the costs, though without reviewing and comparing the documents I cannot say if there is or isn't an issue. In most cases you will not notice the difference throughout your ownership of the property.

Thank you for your reply. The discrepancy is about renting the properties. Some TP1’s say it can be sublet others state there may be no business from the property. These owners feel running sublets or Air B&B is a business so it has become an issue that the TP1’s vary in this clause. Is it normal or legally appropriate that they could vary in such a significant clause?
