I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Fairbourne. I have been living for the previous Seventeen years in Fairbourne. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. 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?
In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Fairbourne conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to take that path of advice. One thing to take into account; if you are going to sell the house in the future, it could be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where premises with day to day issues can still reveal negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Fairbourne should be able to give you some helpful guidance here.
We're in Fairbourne, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is TSB , and our lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Fairbourne. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Fairbourne?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I'm in the throws of viewing flats in Fairbourne and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it sensible to have my lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with Nottingham.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Fairbourne lawyer having made sure that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Aldermore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Aldermore 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 solicitor 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 Fairbourne postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Fairbourne.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for stalling in Fairbourne conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Fairbourne.
I'm refinancing my current property to a BTL loan with Halifax and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on a second property. The location we are talking about is Fairbourne. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and link together the two deals?
Do use our search tool on this site to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panels. Having checked that they are your conveyancer should be able to connect the two transactions but you should have a chat with you solicitor and communicate your desired outcome and requirements.
