In addition to a local search, we may have to conduct additional searches on your purchase property; these may include:
Mining- If property is located in a mining area i.e coal
Water- Drainage enquiries if not already provided in local search to ascertain that the property has mains drainage and water
Environmental- to check that the land upon which property is built has not been contaminated.
The Registers of Scotland have introduced a new electronic system to apply for registration of interests in land and Your Conveyancer is using this system. This enables us to register loan/mortgage transactions and change of ownership over the internet without the need for paper documents. It does not apply in every transaction.
