I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Coleshill. I have lived for the last 20 years in Coleshill. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Coleshill conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . Do bear in mind; if you are going to dispose of the house in the future, it could be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where houses with apparent issues can still reveal adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Coleshill should be able to give you some constructive advice in this regard.

We are aiming to move property in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Coleshill. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent however this can only occur when the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Coleshill or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Coleshill.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Coleshill. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Coleshill solicitor - who is on the Santander conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Santander will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Santander will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Coleshill surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

How easy is it to change a solicitor as I need to find a Coleshill based conveyancer who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Is it advisable to appoint a new law firm?
If you haven't yet instructed a conveyancer to do anything for you and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Coleshill that you're considering.
