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.

HELLO,
WE ARE LOOKING TO BUY A PROPERTY IN LEICESTER AS OUR HOME. WE ARE IN LOVE WITH THIS PROPERTY AND IT TICKS ALL THE BOXES FOR US. HOWEVER, A RECENT SEARCH ENQUIRY MADE BY OUR SOLICITORS MADE US AWARE THAT THE LAND AT THE REAR OF THIS PROPERTY IS OWNED BY THE LEICESTER COUNCIL. ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO THERE WAS A PROPOSED ROAD (EDDR)TO BE BUILT ON THIS LAND.HOWEVER, THE ROAD HAS NOT YET BEEN BUILT AND THE SELLERS BELIEVE THAT THE ROAD MIGHT NEVER BE BUILT. THE LEICESTER COUNCIL DOES NOT HAVE ANY ANSWER TO THIS. MY QUESTION WAS , WOULD IT BE WORTH GOING AHEAD WITH THIS PROPERTY. IF YES, WOULD AN INDEMNITY COVER ME FOR A POTENTIAL DEVALUATION OF THE PROPERTY? WOULD IT ALSO BE WORTHWHILE TO ASK FOR A REDUCTION IN THE SALE PRICE. WE ARE A BIT CONFUSED AS WE WOULD NOT LIKE TO PULL OUT OF THIS SALE AND AT THE SAME TIME CONCERNED THAT WE WILL BE PAYING A BIG PRICE FOR THIS PROPERTY AND WOULD NOT WANT TO MAKE A LOSS. HOPE THAT YOU CAN HELP US IN TAKING A DECISION. THANK YOU.
VARSHA G.
