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.

I bought my flat from the council I have the only entrance to the loft through my flat I was never told before buying it that it wasn't mine the previous tenant floored the loft moved beams without permission but I did get it done up and there are two velux windows all done in 2010 before I bought it in 2012 now I'm selling my solicitor says I don't own the I'm lost as what to do the council own property downstairs only 2 of us in the building I want to sell and have an offer, why did council sell me it like this and only verbally said I can only use loft as floored loft not a room which I never planned to use as a room.
I do not know why the council sold it to you without the loft; perhaps it was because they viewed it as part of the structure for which the freeholder is responsible for maintenance, if that is the case. You could try asking the legal department at the council - ideally the person who acted on the original sale if he/she is still there. Not that I imagine why a historic reason as to sale would make much difference to your current circumstances.
