In the event thatI were to purchase a straightforward homein Stalham for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Stalham?
Any savings you would make will be isolated to the Stalham conveyancing searches. The conveyancing practitioner still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the sellers conveyancer, SDLT return, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge but it will not be a lot.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Stalham last February but my buyer keeps e-mailing daily complaining that their lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Post completion of your disposal your solicitor is obliged to deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the purchasers solicitors.

There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Stalham but how do I know who I should use?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Stalham conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am assisting my aunt sell her flat in Stalham. Will the conveyancing solicitor order an energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments became a compulsory element of selling a property. An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. This is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Stalham conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with long established Stalham energy assessors
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Lloyds as we wish to carry out renovations to our home in Stalham. Are we obliged to appoint a local Stalham solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Lloyds would not normally appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds panel.

What is the reason for new build conveyancing in Stalham being more expensive?
Buying a new build home is significantly distinct from the normal house purchase conveyancing in Stalham. For a start sellers normally require contracts to exchange inside a short timeframe, the result being a a great deal of pressure on your solicitor to make sure everything is in order. Furthermore new build premises frequently involve examination of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Bank requirements are also more detailed. Given the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
