I am acquiring a property for cash in Arley. I have lived for the previous 20 years in Arley. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the Arley conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to consider; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it may be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. Sometimes properties with no practical issues can still show up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Arley will be able to give you some helpful guidance in this regard.
My fiance and I are hoping to buy a newbuild apartment in Arley with a loan from Nationwide Building Society.We like our Arley conveyancing solicitor but Nationwide Building Society advised that his firm is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Nationwide Building Society panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Nationwide Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Nationwide Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Nationwide Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nationwide Building Society
