I am buying a property without a mortgage in Dunnington. I have lived for the last 15 years in Dunnington. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then almost all of the Dunnington conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to take that path of advice. One thing to consider; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it could be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. Sometimes houses with day to day issues can still throw up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Dunnington should provide you some constructive advice here.

I am purchasing a property in Dunnington. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance your lawyer must follow the formal instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not meet these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Dunnington.
I have instructed a Dunnington solicitor having checked that they are on the TSB conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
TSB will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually TSB 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. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Dunnington postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Dunnington.
How does conveyancing in Dunnington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Dunnington come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Dunnington tend to purchase the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Dunnington or who has acted in the same development.
