I am buying a house without a mortgage in Kirby Muxloe. I have been living for the last 20 years in Kirby Muxloe. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Your solicitor will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. One thing to consider; if you are going to dispose of the house one day, it will be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. On occasion premises with apparent issues can still show up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Kirby Muxloe will be able to give you some practical advice concerning this.

Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing.

We previously chose conveyancers located in Kirby Muxloe on the HSBC solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional sum for dealing with the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by HSBC but by your Kirby Muxloe conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the HSBC panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
The mortgage over my property is with Coventry BS for my property in Kirby Muxloe. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Coventry BS will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Coventry BS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
Our sealed bid on a property in Kirby Muxloe has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Kirby Muxloe. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with UBS?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Kirby Muxloe conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market some buyers would apply for a home loan with UBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to press on with searches.
