Need help with a remortgage or transfer of equity / deed of gift? Our guides will walk you through the process and highlight some of the common pitfalls. Mortgages and transfers can be very simple procedures but complex issues can sometimes arise and mistakes are easily made. These guides will help you deal with them.
So you want to have a go at your own conveyancing? First you should read about the risks, then if you're still happy to proceed, our guides will take you through each stage of the process telling you what to look out for and helping you avoid falling into expensive traps. Our subscription service will give you access to all of the documents you should need for your conveyancing and we can even supply you with the Land Registry Official Copies you'll need. Our general guides will cover all the obstacles you are likely to face and offer a practical solution. Have a look at our sale and purchase guides too.
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.

WE would like to replace our windows with cream instead of the brown that we have. we have been told we dont need planning and can replace like for like. our neighbour said we have to have brown and keep the lead. |We wanted clear glass. ?
1. Check the property deeds to ensure there are no restrictive covenants preventing the alteration or requiring consent for such.
2. Is your property a listed building? You would require listed building consent if so.
3. Are you in a conservation area? Check with the local council if uncertain. You may require permission from them if so.
4. Window replacement does not normally require planning permission but does require building regulations. Check your installer is FENSA-registered and they will be able to advise you if building regulations are required.

HI thanks for your help.
We are not in a conservation area
We have been told by the council the PD rights have been withdrawn but the solicitor advised us they have not? Most houses on our road have had extensions and none of them show online. ?
There is nothing that states the windows .
We are not listed.
Just dont want to order the windows to be told differently
The council just said like for like. I have asked for more clarity.
the council have replied to say we don’t need planning just said they should be similar. i need the clarity can i change the colour
it feels like they won’t take ownership for it. there is nothing in the deeds to suggest we can’t do it.
