I am purchasing a house for cash in Ardwick. I have resided for the last 15 years in Ardwick. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Ardwick conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it could be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes premises with functional issues can still reveal adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Ardwick will be able to give you some helpful advice concerning this.

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Ardwick or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, selling agent and even potentially a lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Ardwick should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary will try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Ardwick conveyancing lawyers have been selected. How long does it take for HSBC to forward the offer to the lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have HSBC done the survey? Have you advised HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I currently have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Ardwick. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Principality?
Your original mortgage agreement with Principality will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. You need not do this via a Principality conveyancing panel firm.
We are planning on selling our home in Ardwick and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Ardwick lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ardwick. Having lived in Ardwick for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
