I am purchasing a house for cash in Mundesley. I have been living for the previous twelve years in Mundesley. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Mundesley conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it will likely be be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. On occasion houses with no practical issues can still throw up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Mundesley should provide you some constructive advice in this regard.
Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the main reason for stalling in Mundesley conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Mundesley.
I own a semi-detached Victorian house in Mundesley. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and The Royal Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking The Royal Bank of Scotland to clarify?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Mundesley and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I have been recommended by a couple of local property agents in Mundesley to get a quote from a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your site rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t give any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Mundesley based

Where you need to show evidence of proprietorship or are selling or refinancing your conveyancer will need to obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
