I am buying a property for cash in Yate. I have lived for the last 15 years in Yate. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then all but one or two of the Yate conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches contain. On occasion houses with day to day issues can still show up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Yate should provide you some practical advice here.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as FTB of a garden flat in Yate. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Yate?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Yate. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Yate. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
A colleague recommended that where I am buying in Yate I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
This is a search is occasionally included in the estimate for your Yate conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Yate around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Yate Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Yate.
I was recommended by three or four local estate agents in Yate to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over another?
We refuse to make any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I note that you have a post code search directory identifying firms on the bank conveyancing panel. Do Yate conveyancing companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for my conveyancing?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the lender conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to the any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Yate.
