I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (6 years built) in Griffithstown. 95% of the properties are already occupied. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Griffithstown?
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your lender will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Griffithstown conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your lawyer, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to switch to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Griffithstown.

I am the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Griffithstown. The Griffithstown property was put into my name in October. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. Some banks would take a sensible view as this provision is chiefly there to capture subsales or the flipping of property.

This charge is not dictated by Nottingham but by your Griffithstown lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Nottingham panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

We have AIP from Virgin Money who said that they will loan up to £117k. When do I need to appoint a lawyer for conveyancing? Griffithstown is where we plan to move to.
You can appoint a property lawyer now so that the lawyer can open the ledger so they can commence their AML checks etc. If and when you wish them to start work they will seek a payment on account normally about £200. That should generally be after you have the mortgage offer and valuation report, however if you want to speed matters you can start the ball rolling quicker albeit risking some expense.
