I am buying a house for cash in Shrivenham. I have lived for the last 15 years in Shrivenham. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Shrivenham conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she has a professional duty to take that path of advice. Do consider; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it will likely be be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. On occasion properties with day to day issues can still throw up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Shrivenham should be able to give you some sensible guidance here.

It is is a decade since I bought my property in Shrivenham. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they could still be with the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Shrivenham relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for hinderance in Shrivenham conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Shrivenham.

Am I right to be concerned by estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a local Shrivenham conveyancing company?

As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all put forward conveyancers to choose. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to choose your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that many banks specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your house move.

What can I do to find out who owns a house in Shrivenham?

Provided the premises is registered with HM Land Registry, and you have requisite information of the location of the premises, you will be able to see details from the the Land Registry of the recorded owner for a fee.
