I am acquiring a house mortgage free in Dagenham. I have resided for the previous 20 years in Dagenham. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity 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 the vast majority of the Dagenham conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of advice. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it could be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches contain. Sometimes premises with day to day issues can still throw up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Dagenham should be able to give you some constructive guidance here.

If applicable, your solicitor must also confirm that the mortgage has been discharged to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Dagenham.
Just bought a terraced house in Dagenham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Dagenham conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the post completion formalities are addressed.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Dagenham registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am buying a new build house in Dagenham with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this extras as it may adversely affect my mortgage with National Westminster Bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
