I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in West Dean. I have resided for the last 20 years in West Dean. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the West Dean conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to consider; if you are going to dispose of the house at a future date, it could be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with apparent issues can still show up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in West Dean will be able to give you some practical advice in this regard.
Having sold my house in West Dean last September yet the purchaser is SMS messaging daily complaining that her conveyancer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Following your sale your conveyancer should send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion steps unique to conveyancing in West Dean.

It is improbable the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk.

Builders have recommended to me a conveyancer and I've received a quote from them. It's almost £400 less expensive than my local West Dean conveyancing practitioner. What's the catch?
Builders normally have lists of solicitors who are quick and who know the developer’s contract and conveyancer. As many developers offer an incentive to choose their approved lawyer for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they want exchange within a tight time frame. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested conveyancer is that they may be reluctant to 'push' your interests for fear of upsetting the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should keep with your local West Dean conveyancing practitioner.
