Course description
Clients often make wrong assumptions and think everything is risk-free. Conveyancers assume they have covered it in their reports, but the message doesn’t get through. The result is complaints and claims.

Hannah will discuss boundaries, and how the Land Registry red line doesn’t show your legal boundary, road adoption on new estates, what title insurance doesn’t do, and what your client needs to realise, environmental searches and ‘false negatives’, and why 40% of SDLT returns are wrong.
