I am purchasing a house mortgage free in Barton le Willows. I have lived for the last 20 years in Barton le Willows. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Barton le Willows conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . Do bear in mind; if you are intend to dispose of the house in the future, it could be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches disclose. Sometimes premises with apparent issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Barton le Willows should provide you some sensible guidance concerning this.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Barton le Willows. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Bank of Ireland your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Barton le Willows.
We were going to get a AIP from Nationwide this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

In a buoyant market the majority of home buyers will apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Barton le Willows.

How does conveyancing in Barton le Willows differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Barton le Willows approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Barton le Willows usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Barton le Willows or who has acted in the same development.
Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 72 years left on my lease in Barton le Willows. I am keen to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the freeholder. On the whole a specialist should be useful to conduct investigations and to produce a report to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Barton le Willows.
