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, we are in the process of purchasing a property which was previously sold in January of this year as a two bedroom property. Investors bought the property and have build a partitioning wall in the second bedroom converting the property into a three bedroom property. The house is listed with the estate agents as a three bedroom property, but does this need verifying by any other agencies/parties to officially legalise the property as a three bedroom? We are concerned that if we come to sell the house in 10-15 years time, it will unveil from somewhere that the property is still classed as a two bedroom because it wasn't certified when the partition wall was built and the property value will decrease. Please help. Cannot find the answer to this question anywhere
You can call it what you want. If you turn the kitchen and bathroom into bedrooms you could say it's a five bed property, without a kitchen or bathroom. Obviously that's an extreme example but ultimately there is nothing to say what you must or must not call it as long as you don't misrepresent it (i.e. you couldn't say it's a six-bedroom house when it only has five rooms).

Okay, that makes a lot more sense now. So the current owners of the house do not need to notify the council that she has partitioned a room to make it a three bedroom, it is ultimately us that makes that decision when we come to re sale to say it is a three bedroom property? Thanks for your help :)
