I am acquiring a house without a mortgage in Upper Tean. I have resided for the last 20 years in Upper Tean. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then almost all of the Upper Tean conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice.

Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still show up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Upper Tean should be able to give you some helpful advice concerning this.

On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Upper Tean. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Upper Tean off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Barclays. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, RBS are being a right pain. The Upper Tean solicitor who is on the RBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but RBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do RBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that RBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why RBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Have completed on a a detached house in Upper Tean , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my title? My Upper Tean conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Upper Tean registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I have been pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in Upper Tean to choose a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your site ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I would like to let out my leasehold flat in Upper Tean. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Upper Tean do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

Is the freehold owned collectively by the tenants? Its a good idea to discover as much as possible about the managing agents as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. As the owner of a leasehold property you are often at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day matters like the cleanliness of the common parts. Don't be afraid to ask prospective neighbours if they are happy with them. On a final note, investigate as to the dates that the service fees are due to the appropriate party and precisely what you get for your money. The answer will be important as a) areas can cause problems for the building as the communal areas may start to deteriorate where services are not paid for b) if the leaseholders have an issue with the managing agents you will want to have complete disclosure
