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.

Question is whether by the adjoining owner proceeding to erect a brick extension months before the building owner's works were completed and without consultation with the building owner nor the appointed surveyors, whether the building owner still has an obligation to pay any monies in lieu? Does the fact the adjoining owner proceeded with their own extension works which differ substantially from the previous glass structure which breached the party wall and was removed by the building owner, void any claim for payment in lie
