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.

Our land registry clearly shows that the front garden of two teraaced houses is split directly down the middle. Both gardens have front walls and exactly in the middle is a wide opening to the pavement with a front gate. Both parties can walk out the gate without stepping foot onto the neighbours land. However, if crossing with a pram etc. you would inevitably step on each others land. Both homeowners benefit equally from this. If for some highly unlikely reason one homeowner wanted to put up a wall along the boundary then access would still be possible and to make the access a little wider, a few bricks could be removed and a larger gateway for just that property could be created. Therefor would an Absence of Easement Insurance Policy be required?
I think your conveyancer needs to look at the circumstances of the situation and your deeds and plans. Without seeing them I would say an AOE indemnity is probably not required because you can still walk down the path, and as you point out create a larger access if needed. You might also find in the deeds an easement for access already there in respect of the neighbouring property.

Thank you Notary Express.
Unfortunately, nothing in the deeds. The deeds clearly state the ROW we have over the back garden of next door, as that is needed but nothing mentioning the front garden. I can only assume that this has been the case for 120 years is because it is simply not needed. There is nothing that the neighbour's could do so permanently stop the home owner getting from their front door to the pavement. It would perhaps be a little inconvenient if they built a wall down the middle of the boundary and through the middle of the gateway but you could juat build yourself a new gate way in your part of the wall and no longer have a gate. It is just so fustrating at the our buyers lender is insisting we buy one for £300 and it's just money in the wind!!
