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 own a one bedroom flat in a converted house. We recently discover that the freeholder of the property had made changes to the demise moving a stair case. While this Is not an issue for us the freeholder has not regularised the lease plan for our flat that shows the original location of the staircase. We have asked the freeholder to issue a deed of variation to regularise all the paperwork and the freeholder has refused. Can we look to our mortgage provider to write to the freeholder asking them to issue a deed of variation to regularise the property on which the mortgage provider has a charge?
Your mortgage provider will be unlikely to want to be involved but beware the risk of alerting the lender to any breach of lease in case they feel it is a breach of the mortgage and they call it in. I advise discussing with your mortgage broker (if you have one) before proceeding as such.
You may want to discuss the matter with a professional property litigation solicitor, who would be much more use and able to help you with professional advice and assistance instead.
