I am buying a property without a mortgage in Dalston. I have lived for the previous twelve years in Dalston. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Dalston conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it could be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches contain. Sometimes premises with no practical issues can still reveal unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Dalston will be able to give you some practical guidance in this regard.
Are the Dalston conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Principality conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Principality?
Dalston conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Principality directly.
I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Dalston. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this provision principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Can I be sure that the Dalston conveyancing solicitor on the Leeds Building Society panel is any good?

About to purchase apartment in Dalston. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Dalston conveyancer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address.
