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.

My former matrimonial home is subject to a high court order making me legal beneficiary of £1,000,000
I have registered rights on the land registry both matrimonial and the court order.
yet the lender claims they have a buyer who is happy to by the property with restrictions.
Can someone buy the property with my interest registered in the form of matrimonial rights & a high court order
Assuming that the lender has a mortgage registered and it is owed money, it can liquidated the asset subject to getting a suitable court order.
You should put a solicitor straight away to ensure that your rights are protected.
Your rights should be protected in full and undiluted unless they were subjrct to the mortgsge or you had consented to it.
Just to add to what the previous user has said, your interest will likely rank after the lender. If the mortgage was created before your interest was noted on the register then it is entitled to sell free of it and use as much of the sale proceeds as are necessary to settle the mortgage debt. If there is any money left over after the mortgage debt is paid however and there are no other creditors with interest registered against the title in priority to your, the lender should then distribute the remaining proceeds (up to the value of your claim) to you. The entries on the register in your favour will be removed from the register automatically when the transfer to the purchaser is registered and you will have no claim against the purchaser.
