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 handled our lease extension ourselves and have been told by the Land Registry that the original leasehold registration cannot be surrendered while there is an existing consent restriction. My question is should the landlord's solicitors have withdrawn this or is it something I should do? If I need to, what evidence do I need to provide to show I have consent? Also, there was a tiny flaw in the new lease where a clause was incorrectly referenced. It should have mentioned 1(3) instead of 1(6) but the landlord's solicitors are refusing to amend without my paying for it! I've already paid for everything and don't want to pay any more when they send such a mistake-ridden lease in the first instance. Can I report them for negligence? Sorry for the questions!
Hi,
As for the RX4, this will need to be signed by the landlord or its solicitors (depending on the wording of the clause). An RX4 is an application to withdraw a restriction by the beneficiary. If you want to apply to cancel it you would need an RX3 but you would have to prove the purpose of the restriction has come to an end and I'm not sure you can unless the new lease includes a new restriction in the same form.
As for the error in the lease, you have approved their draft and completed so there may be nothing you can do but it might be worth contacting the Legal Ombudsman.
