Property preview14 Orchard Rise
Example property
A freehold house with a strong title, where a neighbour can use the side path and a 1998 covenant limits extensions.
Needs your attention
A neighbour can use the side path
Your neighbour has a right of way to reach their garage. You could not fence it off, build on it or park across it.
Worth checking
Extensions need the developer’s consent
A covenant is a promise written into the title. This one says you need permission from the original developer to extend.
You’ve seen the listing. Now see your lawyer’s starting point.
Normally, you only see what’s in the legal documents once you’ve chosen a lawyer and paid them to look. We think you should see it sooner. We fetch the same documents your lawyer will read and explain them in plain English, for free. So you can decide if a home is worth going after. Not just by how it looks, but by what comes with it.
What you’re actually buying
Whether it’s freehold or leasehold, and what the title (the legal proof of who owns it) says about the home.

A few things to know.

What is a property preview?
We believe you should get a deeper look at what you’re buying before you get started. That’s what a property preview is for. We read the title documents, the same ones your lawyer will read, and explain what they mean in plain English. So you can decide if a home is worth going after.
Why haven’t I seen this before?
With most firms, you pay upfront, order searches and then wait for the seller’s solicitor to send the documents over. By the time they arrive, weeks have passed and you’ve put in time and money, assuming the purchase will go through. If something in them is a deal breaker for you, you find out late. We think it should be the first thing you see, before you get started.
Why look at this before choosing a lawyer?
Finding a problem halfway through a purchase is stressful, and it can be costly. Finding it at the start means you can go ahead knowing what you’re buying, or walk away before you’ve spent anything.
What do I need to get started?
Just a Conveyd account and the address of the home you’re interested in. Search by postcode or street name and we’ll do the rest.
How does it work?
We’ve built our own software to read and interpret legal property documents. It reviews the title documents for the home and gives you an overview in plain English. We don’t charge you for it. Say you’re planning to keep chickens, but the title documents say you can’t. That’s worth knowing before you get started, not after.
Does it replace my lawyer or a survey?
The property documents show how things stand today. Lots of what they show can be resolved or put right, and that’s where our lawyers come in. We hire only the best lawyers, with decades of experience between them. Some things can’t be changed, but many can, and they’ll tell you which is which. So treat your preview as early information. When you choose Conveyd, our lawyers help you work through it with confidence. You’ll still need a surveyor to check the building.
What happens if I choose Conveyd?
Our lawyers check everything in detail and work with you on anything we find. You pay one fixed legal fee, with no surprise extras.
