Review Title Deeds & Searches

Check conveyancing documents against lender handbook requirements before completion.

Who is this for

Conveyancing Solicitors & Paralegals at law firms or in-house legal teams handling property transactions. You need to verify that title deeds, search reports, and certificates of title meet the lender's handbook requirements before completion — without manually cross-referencing every clause.

What you'll do

  • Upload title deeds, search reports, and any certificates of title
  • The agent checks every document against the UK Finance Handbook and lender-specific requirements
  • Receive a structured report of issues, triaged by severity with remedial actions
  • Add the leasehold modifier for leasehold properties to check lease term, ground rent, and service charges

Submit a conveyancing review

Upload the property documents and submit for review. Use the leasehold modifier for leasehold properties.

What happens

Lender handbook cross-reference

The agent checks every document against the UK Finance Handbook and lender-specific Part 2 requirements. It flags any clauses or conditions that would prevent a lender from proceeding to completion.

Search report analysis

Local authority, environmental, drainage, and chancel searches are analysed for issues that require further investigation, indemnity insurance, or additional enquiries before completion.

Leasehold-specific checks

When the leasehold modifier is applied, additional checks cover remaining lease term, ground rent escalation clauses, service charge reasonableness, and whether the lease qualifies as an AST under the Housing Act.
