I am buying a house for cash in Overton. I have been living for the previous 15 years in Overton. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Overton conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to take that path of advice. One thing to bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house one day, it will be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches disclose. Sometimes properties with no practical issues can still show up unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Overton should provide you some constructive guidance concerning this.

I am buying my first flat in Overton with a mortgage from Birmingham Midshires. The sellers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

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.

The solicitors conducting our conveyancing in Overton has forwarded papers to review that indicate that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not currently recorded at HMLR?
Although most properties in Overton are now registered with HMLR there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Overton that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Overton property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Overton conveyancing lawyers will be able to handle this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty exists the prevailing recommendation presently appears to be for the seller’s conveyancer to undertake the registration formalities first and then sell - this undoubtedly cause a protracted home move.
