I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Beeston. 95% of the flats are already sold. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Beeston?
Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Beeston conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to swap to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Beeston.

Should my conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Beeston.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Beeston. There are those who acquire a property in Beeston, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or by their solicitors which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Beeston. The standard information supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the owner to determine whether the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. A purchaser’s solicitors may also commission an enviro search. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be made.
Have purchased a a detached house in Beeston , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Beeston conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Beeston is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies.

Historically registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Do I need to be wary about third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Beeston conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may recommend conveyancers to instruct. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
