I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Grove Park. I have resided for the last 15 years in Grove Park. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the Grove Park conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . Do take into account; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it will likely be be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches determine. Sometimes houses with apparent issues can still show up unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Grove Park should be able to give you some practical guidance concerning this.
Having sold my house in Grove Park last February yet the purchaser is calling me to moan that their conveyancer needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?

If applicable, your lawyer must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been repaid to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Grove Park.

Is it the case that all Grove Park solicitor firms on the Barclays conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Grove Park lawyer on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your RBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
