What is important is that you adequately comprehend what information each search could give you. Then you can decide if you consider that you need that information. Where you are uncertain, ask your conveyancer to explain.
We are purchasing a property in Ravensthorpe. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? On the day of competition we will need to send money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

I am helping my mother sell her house in Ravensthorpe. Does the solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?
After the demise of HIPs, EPC’s remained a required component of selling a house. An EPC should be commissioned prior to the property being marketed. It is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Ravensthorpe conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local providers
We are aiming to move property in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Ravensthorpe. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your estate agent but this can only occur when the sellers solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. After that you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Ravensthorpe or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Ravensthorpe.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Ravensthorpe I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Ravensthorpe suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Ravensthorpe 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Ravensthorpe conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A lease governs the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Ravensthorpe do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.

New build sellers have put forward a conveyancing practitioner and I've sought a quote from them. It's nearly £400 less expensive than my preferred Ravensthorpe conveyancing practitioner. Should I use them?
Builders often have panels of solicitors who are quick and who know the seller’s paperwork and property lawyer. As many developers offer an inducement to select their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer will not suggest a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they demand an exchange in 28 days. The argument for not opting for the suggested property lawyer is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the developer. If you worry that this may be the situation you should keep with your high street Ravensthorpe solicitor.
