We are acquiring our first house. Our conveyancing practitioner has calledto enquire if we want to take out supplemental conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's appropriate for conveyancing in Storrington

The range of Storrington conveyancing searches depends entirely on the premises, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your familiarity of the area and risks, your overall attitude to risk. What matters is that you adequately appreciate what information the searches could supply. You may then decide if you consider that you need that search. If unsure, ask your lawyer to guide you.

I am selling my flat in Storrington. Will my conveyancing practitioner need to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for stalling in Storrington conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Storrington.

The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Storrington 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be recorded by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.

I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Storrington in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Storrington.
