I am buying a house without a mortgage in Wolvey. I have been living for the last 15 years in Wolvey. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Wolvey conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it may be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches contain. On occasion properties with functional issues can still show up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Wolvey will provide you some practical advice here.

I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Wolvey. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as normal because all rents and service charges will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
