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.

Our property management company can only provide a partially completed LPE1 form and management pack, due to it only being recently discovered a service charge needs to be paid. What can I do to be able to sell my house without the full information?
can you please explain more on this?
We are currently in the process of selling our house, it was discovered whilst in this process that our lease states we can pay a service charge. I’m not sure how it’s been missed for the past 10 years or missed when we bought the property but it’s come to light we legally have to pay a service charge. The issue is as this a new charge that needs to be calculated it’s taking a long time to gather this information and we are unable to sell our house as the management company cannot provide an LPE1 form or a management pack until all of the legal side of which properties should contribute and the total amount is completed. We have asked the management company how long this should take and they will not provide us with a response.
We are stuck not being able to sell our house as no buyer will purchase the house without this information is confirmed. We’ve had two buyers pull out of our sale due to their solicitors stating there is not enough information surrounding this to proceed
