In the event thatI were to buy a simple residential propertyin Kings Norton mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Kings Norton?
The only saving you would achieve is the disbursement for searches. Your solicitor still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with the sellers solicitor, SDLT submission, register the title etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it will not be a lot.

How does conveyancing in Kings Norton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Kings Norton approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Kings Norton typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kings Norton or who has acted in the same development.

Last September I purchased a leasehold flat in Kings Norton. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

In essence you can make a request of HM Land Registry to hide the price paid data however the response would be a No.
