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.

Can you please let me have your thoughts on the following:
Mrs G & Mr A are purchasing a property together; they are not married (does being married have any significance) before the exchange of contracts on this property.
Mrs G & Mr A each own a residential property, with neither having any interest in the other’s property.
They both live in the property owned by Mrs G: the property owned by Mr A which he lived in as his main residence for 31 years until 2015. prior to
moving in with Mrs G has been rented out, but is now on the market to be sold.
Mrs G is selling her property to fund the purchase of the new property to be owned jointly by both Mrs G and Mr A, this will be their new main residence.
Once Mr A has sold his property he will then give Mrs G half of the purchase price of the new main residence
Mr A also has another property which is a buy to let which he has never lived in.
What will be the implications of stamp duty in this scenario?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks and kind regards
Tony Arnold
