What does a local search inform me about the house we're purchasing in Liverpool?
Liverpool conveyancing often commences with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for example PSG The local search plays an important part in most Liverpool conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any nasty surprises after you move into your new home. The search should provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic sections.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Liverpool 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Liverpool is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Liverpool are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Liverpool you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Liverpool may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandmother I am selling a residence in Monmouth but live in Liverpool. My lawyer (approximately 300 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec before completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Liverpool to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Liverpool based
We are soon to acquiring a home in Liverpool. Conveyancing is not yet done but we would like keep the amount we are are buying for a secret from sites such as Zoopla. How can this be achieved ?
HM Land Registry as a matter of law required to specify price sold information on a register of the title for residential properties nationwide including homes in Liverpool. The register of title is an open document, so HMLR would be breaching their statutory duty excluded specific properties such as your property in Liverpool.
You can make a request of HM Land Registry to hide the amount paid data but the answer will be a No.
