I am acquiring a house for cash in Newent. I have resided for the last 20 years in Newent. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then the vast majority of the Newent conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house in the future, it could be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. On occasion premises with day to day issues can still show up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Newent should be able to give you some constructive guidance in this regard.
I have todaybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Newent for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Newent conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing my first flat in Newent with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I'm remortgaging a flat in Newent. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't locate my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not every individual in the practice must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unlicensed staff.
