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 Husband and I are divorcing. He has agreed to sign over the matrimonial house to me and as the valuation equals the remaining mortgage payment, no monies are changing hands. it has taken 3yrs to get to this place and suddenly he has advised he cannot sign the declaration of solvency required by my Banks' Solicitors as he cannot agree to the points on the form. I understand him to be in major debt so assume this is the reason. where do I go from here? Thank you
If you are paying market value for his share then him becoming insolvent does not present a risk. You should have the property independently valued. If you are not paying market value then there is a problem. If the current lawyers don't understand the situation (many remortgage departments at law firms are staffed by non-lawyers) switch to another firm
I am gifting the proceeds from the sale of my house to my nephew.to enable him to buy a property. Now his conveyancer is demanding a Declaration of Insolvency from me!! Why is this?Totally confused. HELP!!
