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 can anyone help
Parents left house to myself and sibling Brought brother out so property is in my name only eg I own it
Now in middle of Selling house & just found out that my old solicitor never took his name off as a trustee on deeds-land registery
My new solicitor has sent a letter for him to sign so i can go ahead with selling my house.
Is it normal for my solicitor to tell him to get legal advice before signing aid form as he asked for me to pay for him to see a solicitor ( which I've agreed to) before he signs as my solicitor told him to do so
Asked first solicitor for a refund for their mistake but so far hasn't answered where do I stand
Hi,
Your lawyer is obliged to recommend that your brother sees legal advice. If your brother chooses to do so, that's his right and I do understand why he wants you to pay for it. If you instructed a previous lawyer to deal with the transfer ownership into your sole name and if he failed to do so, you should pursue this and he should be compensating you for fees you have to pay now. Obviously without sight of your instructions to the lawyer and any correspondence I couldn't comment as to whether he was actually negligent.
