Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Saffron Walden

I am acquiring a house mortgage free in Saffron Walden. I have lived for the last twelve years in Saffron Walden. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Saffron Walden conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . One thing to consider; if you are going to dispose of the house at a future date, it will be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Saffron Walden should be able to give you some constructive guidance concerning this.

Will conveyancers ask for an advanced payment for conveyancing in Saffron Walden?

If you are buying a property in Saffron Walden your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search.

The final balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.

My apartment in Saffron Walden is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the property lawyer have to be required to be on the Principality conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.
