This work covers the pre-purchase checks a buyer undertakes when buying a home in England. A solicitor orders and reviews a set of property searches (for example local authority searches, drainage and water, flood risk and environmental data), examines the title and plan, and flags risks such as planning issues, restrictive covenants or rights of way. They raise enquiries with the seller, explain what the results mean, and help secure legal completion and registration at HM Land Registry. The aim is to identify problems before exchange and to secure appropriate protections for the buyer.
The results of searches can reveal planning constraints, environmental risks or access rights that affect value or future use. A solicitor’s role is to interpret these results, clarify responsible parties, and ensure the contract protects the buyer from unexpected liabilities or loss of value if issues emerge after purchase.

Tagged solicitor Sidraa Razaq
We chose Winston by recommendation from colleagues. It's our turn now to recommend them. We were taking care by Sidraa Razaq who was very professional and friendly. She made the process smooth and easier for us. We are first time buyers and foreigners; so we appreciated a lot her support and explanation to all of our questions and doubts. She was clear and used terminology that we would be able to understand as we are not familiar with legal terms. She kept us informed at every step of the process and was very responsive to our communication. She also made sure we were well represented both of us and that the files and required documents were all properly completed. She was very thorough. We are very thankful she took such good care of us and made the whole process so smooth and easy for us.

She provided detailed and clear advice and was incredibly prompt in addressing all our queries. Kirsty kept us updated throughout the process and was always responsive. I would 100% recommend her services.

Tagged solicitor Tina Rana
Used the service provided by Bray and Bray. Tina Rana and Sarrina Mills were always great from the beginning. Always approachable and communicative. I was looking for the conveyancing solicitor and process was quite convoluted. Tina managed to provide me with the best checks and guarantee, that my purchase process is protected for the future. Can highly recommend.

Stephen and his team competently and professionally dealt with my house sale and purchase. The circumstances were challenging, however Stephen provided fantastic communication and advice throughout, making the process as stress and hassle free as possible. A refreshing change from previous house moves.
