I am buying a house mortgage free in Dore. I have lived for the last twelve years in Dore. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Dore conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it could be of interest to your future buyer what the searches determine. On occasion houses with no practical issues can still show up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Dore will provide you some sensible advice concerning this.
Do banks and building societies provide you with an approved list of Dore conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel?
Dore conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nottingham directly.
I am considering applying for a Coventry BS mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Dore with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Coventry BS ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, but Coventry BS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
How does conveyancing in Dore differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Dore come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Dore usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Dore or who has acted in the same development.

The benefit of a high street Dore conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate.
