I am acquiring a house without a mortgage in Shanklin. I have lived for the last Seventeen years in Shanklin. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Shanklin is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Shanklin are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Shanklin you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shanklin may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Do I need to be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Shanklin conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. But there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all put forward conveyancers to appoint. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that most lenders specify a panel list of law firms you have to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
Finally our conveyancing in Shanklin is set to complete next Friday, however the owners I am purchasing from has asked to move out 24 hours later at midday. Do I agree to this?
It is not possible to complete on a Saturday because the bank systems are not working.
