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 son owns the legal estate in a property; at purchase I provided half the money and he and I entered into a Declaration of Trust whereby we own half the equitable estate each. We are now selling and so half the proceeds of sale will come to me. There will be a considerable CGT bill and so I want to gift 75% of my half share of the equitable estate to my wife so as to be able to use her CGT exemption as well as mine. Where do I find a precedent for the deed of assignment?
I'm afraid you might need to speak to an expert in tax planning, though I invite comments from anyone else
My question has nothing to do with tax planning - I know that what I want to do is both legal and effective. My question is where do I find the precedent for the deed of assignment; Can you answer it please - pretty simple stuff - I thought you were supposed to be experts in conveyancing.
What a rude message! Considering that you are asking a stranger to do something for you for nothing it's amazing that you would be so obnoxious. Since it is apparently so simple I suggest you work it out for yourself or else pay someone.
There seems to be some misunderstanding. I had no idea I was asking someone to do something for nothing. I thought I was coming to a site which provided free conveyancing advice - but I'm not after free advice.All I am after is a source for a precedent for an assignment by way of gift - which source I obviously expect to pay.
