I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Sands End. I have been living for the last twelve years in Sands End. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Sands End conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to take that path of encouragement . Do consider; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it will be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. Sometimes premises with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Sands End should be able to give you some constructive advice in this regard.
We note that you have a search directory listing law firms on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Sands End?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Sands End.
My wife and I are buying a property in Sands End. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we will need to deposit funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am expecting a DIP from RBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Sands End solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Sands End solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.
My sealed bid on a property in Sands End has been agreed to, the sellers do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The sellers have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Sands End. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with RBS?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Sands End conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your property lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with RBS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.
Just acquired a detached house in Sands End , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Sands End conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the registration is dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Sands End is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Taking into account that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Sands End I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer about mytransaction in advance of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Is it best to instruct a Sands End conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can perform the legal formalities however they are based over three hundred kilometers away.
The benefit of a high street Sands End conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, deliver your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were impressed that should surpass using an unknown Sands End conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
