IfI were to purchase a freehold homein Wirral mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Wirral?
The sole saving you would achieve is the costs for searches. A property lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your vendors conveyancer, stamp duty return, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it will not be a lot.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Wirral. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with your lender or they could still be with the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Wirral involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
