I am acquiring a property for cash in Paddington. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Paddington. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Paddington conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to take that path of advice. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it may be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches disclose. Sometimes properties with functional issues can still reveal negative search results.

At what point does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Paddington and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Paddington you are invited in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Paddington)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Paddington is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Paddington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Paddington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Paddington may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
