I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Mulbarton. I have resided for the last dozen years in Mulbarton. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Mulbarton conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it could be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. On occasion premises with no practical issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Mulbarton should be able to give you some sensible advice here.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Mulbarton? What am I being asked for?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing business. The Terms of Engagement that you are required to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. If you refuse to supply identification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to act for you.

The mortgage over my property is with Nottingham for my property in Mulbarton. Conveyancing was finalised 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 buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nottingham?
Your original mortgage agreement with Nottingham will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Nottingham 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 Nottingham directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel lawyer.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Mulbarton. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. Shortly after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Mulbarton I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Mulbarton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
