I am purchasing a property mortgage free in Sands End. I have been living for the last twelve years in Sands End. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then almost all of the Sands End conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to take that path of advice. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it may be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. On occasion premises with apparent issues can still throw up unfavourable search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Sands End will be able to give you some sensible guidance in this regard.
My property lawyer in Sands End is not on the Platform Home Loans Ltd Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Platform Home Loans Ltd panel?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Sands End solicitors but Platform Home Loans Ltd will need to retain a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total conveyancing fees and result in frustration.
- Choose a new solicitor to act in the purchase, remembering to check they are Platform Home Loans Ltd approved.
- Persuade your Platform Home Loans Ltd based solicitor to seek to join the Platform Home Loans Ltd panel
How does conveyancing in Sands End differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Sands End come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Sands End tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Sands End or who has acted in the same development.

I am an executor of my recently deceased mum’s Will, with a property in Sands End which is to be marketed. The house is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm told that some purchasers will insist that it is done before they will proceed. What's the mechanism for this?
In the situation that you have set out it seems sensible to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
