I am buying a house without a mortgage in Haslington. I have resided for the previous twelve years in Haslington. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then almost all of the Haslington conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it could be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still throw up unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Haslington will provide you some helpful guidance in this regard.
The Haslington conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Haslington have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I needed a lawyer on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel and my preferred Haslington lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to assist.

My a decade ago. He has since got married, divorced and has recently remarried. He will be marketing the apartment this October. I suspect that he will just be requested to supply copies of his marriage certificates to the lawyer but he is concerned it could delay the home move. Is it worth updating the Land Registry details for the house?
It is not absolutely necessary to update the title for the property on the basis that you have the proof needed to show how the change of name occurred.
The purchaser’s lawyer should examine the land registry details and require evidence to prove the change of name for example marriage documentation.
