I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Bursledon. I have lived for the previous Seventeen years in Bursledon. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Bursledon conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . Do consider; if you are going to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where properties with apparent issues can still show up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Bursledon will be able to give you some practical advice concerning this.
My husband and I wish to acquire a newbuild apartment in Bursledon with a residential mortgage from Nottingham Building Society.We like our Bursledon conveyancing practitioner but Nottingham Building Society says he's not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Nottingham Building Society approved list. in the past, most banks 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Bursledon is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Bursledon are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bursledon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bursledon may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 residence.
