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, I would like some advice regarding a Declaration of Trust document between the co-freeholders of a period conversion. I completed on the purchase of a flat in a 3-flat conversion of an Edwardian house last September. At the time of conveyancing process my solicitor advised that to update the exiting Declaration of Trust between the co-freeholders with my name would be a different service which I nonetheless instructed him to undertake. Fast forward 8 months this Declaration of Trust, which is a just two-page document de facto outlining how the co-freeholders share the costs with regards to the maintenance of the common parts and the structure of the house, has not been updated with my name and the solicitor appears to be “to busy” to deal with the matter. I’m quite puzzled with his behaviour and need an advice please on how important is this document, what could be the reasons he is reluctant to finalise this matter and whether I can ask another solicitors’ firm to help with that? Any guidance would be appreciated as I have raising concerns about the situation and potential complications for me if I am to resell the property in future. Thank you
You can ask another firm to act on the deed of trust if you wish. You can freely choose your legal representative.
I do not know what his reasons could be - you would need to ask him.
