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.

Please help. I bought a house with my 2 parents but now they have moved out we have all agreed to transfer the deeds (and mortgage) to just me, with no money exchanging hands (as I paid the deposit and I have been paying the mortgage myself). There is a mortgage of £68000 remaining and my mortgage provider has agreed that i can take on the mortgage on my own, they are just waiting for the e TR1 form from my solicitor. My solicitor has been ignoring me for weeks, I finally heard from him and he is struggling to understand the covenant on the title document. He says there are no restrictions on the title documents however is saying he can’t work out from the covenant if I need to seek permission from the council because it says permission needs to be sought to lease, sell or dispose of undeveloped land. He wants to charge a load more to find out; however I rang the solicitor I used when I bought the house and they assured me there was nothing complicated and nothing that would affect an equity transfer. They went as far as to say the solicitor in question should not be in the profession if he does not understand such a simple thing.
Should a covenant relating to the disposal of undeveloped land affect me taking my parents off the deed? I wouldn’t have thought my house/garden/garage counts as undeveloped land?
