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 purchased a property 2 months ago and the property was highlighted as a high risk flood area & indicated there had been a flood within 0 meters of the property. We asked the solicitor on e-mail to enquire if the property has previously flooded to which she replied 'The seller has stated in the sellers property information form that the property has NOT flooded'. So she did not enquire further & accepted this as confirmation. We have a copy of the information report which shows they have said it hasn't. We have since been told by neighbours that part of the property flooded 3 years ago and they had to have a lot of damage repaired, new carpets fitted, kitchen fitted etc. We want to know where we stand with this? I assume my house insurance is void because I have told them it has never flooded when it has, there is obviously a risk of future flooding & damage and obviously if we ever want to sell the property we would have to declare which could de-value the price we get for it. Can we claim some sort of compensation for false information? If so what would the process be and would it be costly to us?
