I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Rossett. 95% of the flats are already disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Rossett?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your lender will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Rossett conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Rossett.
My father advised me that in purchasing a property in Rossett there could be various restrictions prohibiting external changes to the property. Is this right?

I am the only recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Rossett. The Rossett property was put into my name in April. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be affected by that. How practical a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this provision principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Rossett conveyancing lawyers were selected. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to forward the offer to the solicitor?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Leeds Building Society done the survey? Have you advised Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
