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.

Does a TR1 supercede a TP1, which makes the TR1 the legally binding document? Regards Ben
They are both transfers with identical legality. The only difference is:
TR1 - transfer of the WHOLE of a registered title
TP1 - transfer of a PART of a registered title
Ask your conveyancer which one is appropriate for your particular case.

I own a property with my ex partner.... We have split up and she is willing to relinquish her part of the property...
She has no interest in any pert of the equity so my question is using the Land Registry form a TR1 or a TP1 as it is very confusing as whether is is part or full transfer of title
This is the wording of Clause 2 of my TP1 between the original transferor and Transferee of my property in 1966. I think this does not create a service charge/rent charge or any other means for the current Transferor to ask for a lump sum that far exceeds the cost of the maintenance but creates a sinking fund. I have refused to pay more than my share of the costs of actual repairs because we have no say how past funds have been spent not do we have accounts of how it has been spent. The transferor is threatening to take me to court because I refuse to pay into the reserve. i maintain authority has not been created for such a fund. Who is right?:
"2. FOR the benefit and protection of the adjoining land retained by the Transferor or any part or parts thereof and so as to bind the land hereby transferred into whosoever’s hands the same may come the Transferees hereby (jointly and severally) covenant with the Transferor that the Transferees and those deriving title under them will at all times hereafter (1) pay a fair proportion (to be assessed by the Transferor’s Surveyor in the event of any dispute) of the cost of (a)carrying out on the land coloured green on the said plan works of a landscaping nature in a manner first approved by the Transferor and thereafter to maintain the same and the works carried out thereon in a good clean and tidy state and condition so long as required so to do by the Transferor and (b) maintaining and keeping in good repair the land hatched brown and the footpaths coloured brown and the fence between the points marked A and D on the said plan ..."
