AssumingI was to purchase a simple residential propertyin Heathrow for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Heathrow?
The only reduction in fees you would make on is the Heathrow conveyancing searches. Your property lawyer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your vendors lawyer, SDLT return, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a charge but it will not be meaningful.

I am aiming to move property in May. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Heathrow. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your estate agent but this can only take place once the vendors lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Heathrow or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Heathrow.
I am purchasing a property in Heathrow. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Lloyds be concerned?
As your lender is Lloyds your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Heathrow.
Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Heathrow solicitor - who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Heathrow surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose impending roadworks that may affect a commercial property in Heathrow?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Heathrow will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Heathrow. The search result sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Heathrow.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Heathrow it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately can cause delays to Heathrow commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not carried out for domestic conveyancing in Heathrow.
I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Heathrow ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks may refuse to issue a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you call us we can check with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Heathrow. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
