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,
I was wondering if you could possibly help me out?
I am trying to buy a house which has a cul-de-sac right of way through the garden which terminates at the rear boundary.
It is cul-de-sac due to a partial extinguishment back in the 80’s to make way for a housing estate.
The current owner has been in the house since it was built 17years ago. Since then no one has used the path, or attempted to do so.
If I actually get to buy the house I would apply to extinguish the path either by the normal means or by abandonment as it is no use to the public as it doesn’t go anywhere. I am aware that this will take some time to complete so... to enable the transaction to complete is there some kind of indemnity that can be taken out, either by myself or the seller that will cover the lender in the event they need to sell it and get their investment back.
To give you an idea the purchase price is £595k I have £100k deposit and proof of funds to pay the mortgage for 3 years (which should be long enough to extinguish the path)
If you are able to recommend a suitable policy along with potential cost that would be great.
I have discussed this with my solicitor but he seems to think that such an indemnity doesn’t exist.
Thanks in advance
Andy
