I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Cranford. 95% of the properties have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order local searches as part of conveyancing in Cranford?
You are putting yourself at risk in failing carrying out Cranford conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would seriously advise in no uncertain terms that your conveyancer conducts them. Where time pressures and cost are top of your issues you should discuss with your solicitor about the options such as indemnity insurance available to you
What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Cranford
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Cranford conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Cranford. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Cranford?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

As solicitors, in order to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Many lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be overseen by the CLC.
I have been recommended by numerous property agents in Cranford to choose a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to market your lawyers ahead of a competitor’s?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am buying a ground floor maisonette in Cranford. Conveyancing lawyer is awaiting, from the owner, building insurance schedule. Earlier today I was informed that the vendor needs to forward the insurance schedule for the flat above in addition. Why would my solicitor need to see the insurance for the other flat?

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Cranford to find Conveyancing in Cranford in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the freeholder insuring the entire property - which is definitely preferable. You should contact your lawyer but it would appear that your lawyer is looking to verify that the complete building is insured. Insuring your flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reinstated as a result of lack of insurance.
