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 neighbour built over our boundary onto a wall that held our conservatory roof up. They then built ontop of the wall over our listed building without issing notice getting owners consent lying to council during planning application and not signinging the application. They are tresspassing onto our land and they want us to not put an indemnity clause into our deeds which means they accept responsibility in the future for this wall whic is on our land but encased in their extension. Listed buildings say we shoud ask for them to put an indemnity clause into our deeds which acknowledges the breach of covenant but would protect our property in the future if there was any problems caused by our neighbours decision.
Hello,
If you are not happy about the encroachment then you can force them to remove the structure by taking a civil action for trespass. You would need to instruct a solicitor specialising in property litigation. If you are ok for it to remain you should get the neighbour to enter into a deed of covenant in which they covenant to maintain the structure they have built as well as bearing the cost of any damage caused to your property. You should place a restriction on the neighbour's title so that future owners have to enter into a similar covenant with you.
You should also insist that they apply for and obtain retrospective listed buildings consent.
