I am purchasing a house for cash in Barton le Willows. I have resided for the previous 15 years in Barton le Willows. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Barton le Willows conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are intend to dispose of the house in the future, it may be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. On occasion premises with functional issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Barton le Willows should be able to give you some sensible advice concerning this.

We were going to get a OIP from Coventry BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Barton le Willows solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Barton le Willows solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Barton le Willows. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Not long after, the solicitor contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Barton le Willows. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the service charge as normal as all ground rent and maintenance charges will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
