Me and my fiancee are purchasing our first property. Our lawyer has calledto enquire if we want to order supplemental conveyancing searches. As novices we have no idea as to what's necessary for conveyancing in Wolston
The type of Wolston conveyancing searches should be triggered based primarily on the property, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your knowledge of the area and risks, your general approach to risk. What matters is that you properly appreciate what information each search could supply. Then you can decide if you personally think you need that information. If unclear, ask your lawyer to explain.
Should lawyers ask for money on account for my conveyancing in Wolston?
If you are buying a property in Wolston your solicitor will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. Ordinarily this is called for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is payable against the total price then this should be asked for shortly ahead of contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is due should be transferred a few days ahead of the completion date.
Do I select a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Wolston?
There are two types of lawyers who can do conveyancing in Wolston namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. The two can handle conveyancing services that you need to complete the disposal or purchase of property. Both are duty bound to carry out Wolston conveyancing to the same quality and guidelines so you can be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be professionally conducted and that the requirements and procedures should be suitably taken.

I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Wolston property lawyer on the Clydesdale panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The deeds to my house are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Wolston 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
You no longer need to have the physical original deeds to prove you own the land or premises, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Wolston I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wolston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

Technically speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Wolston based
