I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years old) in Edmonton. The vast majority the properties are already sold. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Edmonton?
You are opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in not carrying out Edmonton 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 mortgage free there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would seriously advise in the strongest possible terms that your conveyancer conducts them. Where accelerating the process and price are primary issues you should discuss with your lawyer about the viability of search insurance

What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Edmonton
It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Edmonton conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. 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 go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
My lawyer has informed me that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Edmonton?
The appropriate level of flying freehold indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
About to purchase apartment in Edmonton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS 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 Edmonton conveyancer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
I moved into my house on 3 August and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Edmonton advises it should be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Edmonton uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Edmonton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
