I am buying a property without a mortgage in Surrey Quays. I have been residing for the previous Seventeen years in Surrey Quays. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then almost all of the Surrey Quays conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to take that path of guidance. One thing to consider; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it will likely be be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. On occasion premises with day to day issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Surrey Quays should be able to give you some sensible advice in this regard.
The Surrey Quays conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Surrey Quays have without warning closed.

If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to assist.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Surrey Quays. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the service charge as usual as all ground rent and service charges should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
