My partner and I are acquiring our first home. Our solicitor has messagedto ask if we would like to take out additional conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's relevant for conveyancing in Stanwell

The range of Stanwell conveyancing searches should be dictated entirely on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your overall approach to risk. What matters is that you properly appreciate what information the searches could give you. You may then make a decision if you personally think you need that search. Should you be unsure, ask your lawyer to guide you.

We're in Stanwell, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Nationwide , and our solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Stanwell 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be retained by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

How does conveyancing in Stanwell differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Stanwell contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Stanwell tend to acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Stanwell or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Stanwell is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Stanwell are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Stanwell you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stanwell may decide 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 property.
