I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Haringey. I have been living for the previous 20 years in Haringey. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know 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 mortgage, then almost all of the Haringey conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. Do consider; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it may be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where properties with apparent issues can still reveal unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Haringey will provide you some sensible guidance here.
How up to date is your database of Haringey solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel? Do Skipton send you an updated list?
Haringey conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Skipton directly.
I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Haringey?
Do check but the the probability is that give you one of their panel solicitors should you accept the "fee-free" deal. Contact the lender to see if they allow a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Haringey.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Haringey. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Haringey?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Haringey. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
When it comes to lenders such as Bank of Ireland, do Haringey solicitors incur a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
We were going to get a AIP from UBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Haringey solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Haringey solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
