This work covers checking who owns a property and what rights or restrictions attach to it, including what the Land Registry shows about title, charges, and covenants. A solicitor practising in this area reviews the title deeds and the title register, identifies any interests or limits on ownership, and explains how those affect you as buyer or owner. They search for notices, restrictions, mortgages, or rights of way that could affect the property and they report what this means for you and your plans. This work is shaped by the rules of conveyancing and land registration in England and Wales, with practical steps guided by the Seller’s and Buyer’s solicitors, and mortgage lenders when relevant.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The specific risks include unregistered rights, restrictive covenants, or financial charges that could affect the property’s use or value. A solicitor provides protective steps through the title search process, communicates findings, and coordinates with the lender and the seller’s solicitor to ensure any issues are addressed before completion.
