I am purchasing a property for cash in Longridge. I have resided for the previous 15 years in Longridge. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to do this.

A competent conveyancing solicitor in Longridge should be able to give you some practical guidance in this regard.

As your lender is Barclays your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays.

The vendors have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Longridge. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Longridge conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance approved list. Regarding the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some purchasers will apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to press on with searches.
