I am acquiring a property for cash in Bagillt. I have been residing for the previous dozen years in Bagillt. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then almost all of the Bagillt conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . Do consider; if you are likely to dispose of the house in the future, it will be of interest to your future buyer what the searches determine. On occasion premises with day to day issues can still show up unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Bagillt should provide you some practical advice in this regard.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Bagillt. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Bagillt?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Bagillt. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Bagillt. The Bagillt property was put into my name in May. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be caught by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.

The primary upside of using a local Bagillt conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Bagillt know how is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you.
