My wife and I are acquiring a ground floor flat in Church Village. My Solicitor has never been on on the lender conveyancing list. Can I still retain my Church Village conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank list of approved lawyers?
You must instruct a solicitor to complete the formalities if you need a loan to purchase your property. They will conduct all the essential investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. You may instruct a Church Village solicitor of your choice. However, if the property lawyer appointed is not a member of the lender solicitor panel additional fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your lawyer has not in the past applied for membership they can do so.
I am acquiring a house without a mortgage in Church Village. I have been residing for the last 20 years in Church Village. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of 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 all but one or two of the Church Village conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . One thing to consider; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it will be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. On occasion houses with no practical issues can still reveal adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Church Village should provide you some practical advice here.

We have lived in Church Village for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
