I am acquiring a house for cash in Merton Park. I have resided for the last 15 years in Merton Park. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Merton Park conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. One thing to take into account; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it could be of importance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. Sometimes properties with functional issues can still show up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Merton Park will provide you some constructive advice here.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a Merton Park based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel solicitors where you take up the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank to check if they allow a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Merton Park.

Just acquired a detached house in Merton Park , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Merton Park conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Merton Park registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
