Frequently Asked Questions
What are conveyancing searches?
When purchasing a property, it is advisable to find out as much as you possibly can about the property you are purchasing. You can have searches carried out to understand the property and its surrounding area in more detail and most mortgage lenders require you to have carried these out. The main searches are:
- A local search – This is a set standard of enquiries that are raised with the local council. It relates solely to the property itself and would not for example reveal proposals to develop or extend neighbouring land.
- A drainage search – This checks if the property is connected to the mains for water drainage and sewerage; it will also provide information on the location of the sewers and if they fall within the boundaries of the property.
- An Environmental Search – This investigates potential environmental risks associated with a property and its surroundings. It will examine historical and current records to identify issues such as flooding, contamination or other hazards that could impact the property.
- Other Searches – These could include Coal Mining, Tin Mining, or chancel repair searches.
