I am buying a property for cash in Salford. I have resided for the previous twelve years in Salford. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt 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 intend to dispose of the house in the future, it could be of interest to your future buyer what the searches disclose.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business offices in Salford and how can you help?

My friend mentioned that when selecting a conveyancing lawyer they must be approved by your mortgage company. This is my first home move but I have an AIP from Nat West Bank and I already have a family conveyancing solicitor in Salford at the ready. Can Virgin Money insist on an approved lawyer to be selected? Does a directory of approved conveyancers even exist so I can choose a conveyancing solicitor in Salford?

You need to use a solicitor that is on the Virgin Money panel. Just call your preferred Salford conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the Virgin Money panel. If they are not on the panel you have a number of choices open to you here:

  • Proceed with your chosen Salford lawyer but Virgin Money will undoubtedly use a property lawyer on their approved list. The net result is additional cost together with probable delay.
  • Choose a fresh property lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
  • Convince your solicitor to pull out all the stops to get listed on the Virgin Money panel of solicitors.
